Thank you, Madam Speaker. I too will support this motion. You know, it's always hard to talk about this because it affects, you know, not only the people in our communities and the territories but also family members as well. So, you know, anything we can do and this government can do, I think it's important. And I would hope that, you know, and I've said this before, is that, you know, we got to go back to remembering why we're here, and that's for the people of the Northwest Territories. That means for the youth, you know, for adults, for seniors. And they're all -- you know, there's that infliction. You know, it's not just related to youth; it's also related to other groups as well but we got to start somewhere. And where we start is in listening and not telling, you know, people what they need. And, you know, what I would hope is that in trying to get that out there is that, you know, we engage, you know, with the NGOs that are actually probably the closest to, you know, the youth in the communities. So, you know, there's lots of work and if we can save, you know, one life, you know, that's better than what's been happening. So I support the motion. I thank the mover and the seconder as well. Thank you.
