Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I too wish to reiterate the comments of both my colleagues here. It is so important that we take action now on suicide prevention as it's well documented that suicide is contagious, and I think that, you know, we can look at the instances in my colleague's riding to know that is true.

I think one of the key things here that we really need to note is that we often speak about how Indigenous governments and Indigenous organizations know what is best for their people, and so a key part of this motion that I support is the removal of the hoops or reporting or basically just the rigorous structure of process in order to get this money into Indigenous communities and other communities' hands so that they can spend the money where they best see fit under direction of the youth and others in their communities. I can't stress enough that this is probably one of the most important topics I think that we're tackling within this House.

There's a popular meme going around where it shows people fishing, people out of the river, and really the comment is well, why are we not looking upstream to find out why they're falling in the river to begin with, and to start building that bridge so we prevent people from ending up in the stream of addictions or homelessness. I think our youth are a hugely key important factor to that. And as I mentioned in my Member's statement, there's a huge gap there when it comes for supports for youth. I can only imagine trying to work hard to better myself only to, at every corner, face an obstacle.

I would not have had the fortitude at 16 years old to continue on myself if I hadn't had people pushing me. So I think that we're failing our youth in that we are not supporting them through this critical time in order to keep them out of the system. So I say that I strongly agree with my colleague's comments. I hope that there will be action now and not waiting 120 days on the report. There are items here that could be done immediately that I think will see some direct benefits. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
