Thank you, Madam Chair. Just in regards to that, you know, under Truth and Reconciliation section 88, residential school, as a survivor myself, and other Members in this House, you know, the federal government has to step up in regards to this right across Canada. It's not only us in my riding, it's right across Canada. You're hearing it in Yukon and Nunavut. What we have to do in regards to this is maybe our Minister has to take a bold step and our government has to and throw a million dollars into a sport fund. And not only that, I mean, I know where the Minister's coming from. I did the same thing.
I coached minor hockey for 20 plus years in my community. I did all that volunteering. I still do. My wife, everybody. But people are getting tired and getting burnt out. We need our youth to start -- you know, our youth are so resilient. I have so much good youth in my riding, and across the Beaufort Delta. We need to help them.
I'm working with First Assist to try to get a coach into a community for one year, and they'll help you pay. The Minister should look into that for the communities and getting somebody from the outside to come in to help our youth and train, train a trainer. Being able to do stuff like that, but we have to get serious on it. Can't just lip service it all the time and don't do nothing and yeah, yeah, yeah. Let us hear what we want to say while we're here then when we go, nothing. Got to stop it. Got to take that step. So, Madam Chair, I mean, I'm just -- wish the Minister would listen; I wish our government would listen and help us. Help us help you. Thank you.
