Thank you I'll make that commitment right now in this House that I'm more than willing to work with him. We are working on our youth strategy plan right now and how we're able to make it better for residents in the Northwest Territories. But the Member talks about a very serious situation and collaboratively I think we can come up with a solution. I just don't think it's just one department. It's the collective that we need to address this. In my riding, I've seen people that have unfortunately committed suicide as well. And it's a very trying thing on the community. But I'm more than willing to work with the Member on how we can get things done, how we can provide opportunities for our youth in the communities, and working with the Minister of Education and the Minister of Health and Social Services. We're very serious about this. We did have -- like I said, we had our first meeting on this as we -- as a Cabinet, and it was an hour and a half. And we've already made a commitment for the next meeting to have similar conversations on how we move forward. But we're more than willing to work with the Member, and we're more than willing to work with committee. This is a serious concern. And I shouldn't just say committee - the collective, the 19 of us, how we work together on it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
