Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don't intend to rehash the entire history of the A New Day Program here, but I do think that we have changed the model to hopefully run a number of men's wellness programs and men's healing programs across the territory in partnership with Indigenous governments. But as noted in the previous motion, the uptake on a lot of this funding has not been there and I think the department needs to set its mind to, you know, trying to make sure that those programs are up and running. This is discussed further in the report noting that, you know, young men in our territory are more likely to commit suicide than other places and that we all know that young men are overly incarcerated, are far more likely to commit domestic violence. There's no shortage of need for healing in this area. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
