Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I appreciate this motion. I think it's really important to talk about this area. I think that it helps to remove the stigma, and it helps connect people with the resources they need. There are a number of resources that have been mentioned by Members in their statements.

The important thing here is that we all have a role to play. We can be, as individuals, a mentor to someone who is struggling. We can be a leader in our communities. We can have a professional role in this. But we all have a role to play in ensuring that we hear what it is that people in crisis need and how it is that we can help them.

I want to say that I am not going to comment on the substance of the motion at this time. But I will say that the Community Suicide Prevention Fund has included applications that are by and for youth. There's no age limit on that fund. And the fund has now been spent for its annual allocation but it's my understanding that the department has been able to identify one-time additional funding to support proposals. I want to say that depending on what kind of shape the proposal is in, it can take less than a week for approval. So it's not an arduous process for applying for these funds.

I also want to say that all communities developed wellness plans, and they're online. Most of them were developed in 2018 and they are often youth-focused, written by youth. They're funded by the territorial government with money from Ottawa. Those plans are in the process of being renewed, and they would be a key place to hear from youth about their immediate and ongoing needs.

So with that, Madam Speaker, again I'd like to thank the Regular Members for bringing this motion forward, and they will receive a full response. Thank you.
