Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, you know, I hear the Minister when she answers with the CYCs. You know, I think that program, from what I've been hearing, it is a program that works except that when the students are in crisis, there's not enough of them. When they want -- when students are wanting help, in that crisis mode, they want help now. And what I've heard is that our CYC, especially in the Inuvik school, is busy. Like, she's -- they're booked. They're booked. And when a person is in crisis, I know the department tries to accommodate and help and, you know, everybody -- but it's -- I think that's the thing is, is they need ongoing.
But my question to the Minister is -- and I mentioned this two years ago in 2020 and I don't know if you were the Minister at that time but you may have been. It might have been Minister Archie. But, you know, we have programs like the ASIST. And I'm not a youth, but I know when I was struggling as a youth, I would talk to my peers. I didn't want to talk to adults. I didn't want to talk to anybody. I talked to my peers. I talked to, you know, my partner or, you know, those types of things. So I'm just wondering if the department has looked at providing the ASIST training or a youth component training to the schools for youth so that they can be equipped with the tools on how to support somebody that discloses depression or discloses that they're suicidal or discloses that they have an addiction. So I'm just wondering if that's something that the department will look into because this is prevention too, you know. If we start younger, then we may prevent deaths later and suicides. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
