Thank you. The motion is in order. To the motion. Member for Great Slave.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, one of the things that we heard repeatedly as a committee, both in this work and as well if anything around addictions and such, is that the youth that have nothing to do with they're bored, that's when they're getting into trouble and that's when they're finding themselves, you know, too wrapped up in their heads and what they're thinking and their emotions, and they need creative outlets and places to go that are safe spaces that are free from the harmful influences of perhaps alcohol and drugs and the trauma that they have dealt with. And we've often talked a lot about sport here, but things like beading and traditional workshops and drumming as well even just spending time with elders. It's something that will occupy youth and will give them a sense of accomplishment and pride in themselves and what they're doing. And I think that goes a long way in preventing youth -- anybody from going down these mental health challenges. So I can't stress this one enough. Again, it comes down to flexibility like our last -- the previous motion that we didn't speak to. But, you know, is that even the perception of hoops to jump through is at times the barrier to actually anyone applying. So however the government can go about in getting this to be the easiest and most possible sort of informal way to get money into the hands -- and even if that's just a youth who says, I want to put on a potluck and I need, you know, $400 for some supplies. Like, I want us to see those types of programs and anything, really, that youth come up with, I want to see us fund them. I mean, they know what they want and what they need, and we don't need to be telling them that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. To the motion.

Question has been called. All those in favour? All those opposed? Abstentions? The motion is carried.
