Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. No, I just want to urge our government, you know, I -- we do need support for our youth and our communities, and I've been standing on this side of the House and being able to try to get out for youth sport and stuff like that, different aspects for our youth to get out of our small communities. We need to help them. They're really -- after, like I said since COVID, this last two years out of COVID, we've been -- our youth are really struggling. I see it every day, because I live it in a small community. And I really -- the supports that we give, it's not enough. But -- and it's too much stress on our local community governments because they're having to take a lot of the weight. But I really urge our government to try to work with this side of the House to make a plan on a go forward for suicide prevention, a meaningful participation on both sides to make something be able to work for all of us and something to be proud of to support our youth in our small communities, which we need to do. Thank you, Madam Chair.
