Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, why this motion is important, not only just for the obvious reasons that it's great and we need to have our youth gathering and allow them to have these opportunities, but the reason that we specifically need to highlight this is that a lot of the funding that is provided in the suicide prevention or for youth is limited in the amount of funding that each project or event could apply for. And I believe that's a $45,000 cap. But when we look at some of the recent events that were put on by youth in the territory, some of those were up into the lines of about $100,000, and particularly if we want to bring in youth from other communities, have them liaise with youth in the sister territories of Nunavut and Yukon. So to me, this was very important to not only ensure that there's the financial supports for it but also the human resource supports, but also I think it's really important that it will show youth that our government actually cares. Thank you, Madam Chair.
