Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And I was hoping to get to three other things, but I might send some questions to colleagues if they're willing to sneak them in because I think that's going to take the rest of my time. But it's youth in care that have come to us and have said this. And sorry, youth who have also aged out of care who have come to us and have said this. And, you know, I was sent an email recently by a parent that was originated from a youth care counsellor because youth care counsellors are very much overtaxed in the territory right now, and so they don't always have the time to get everybody in. And in addition to that, our social workers are in the same position where they don't always have the time to get in and sit down with everyone. And sometimes people who are advocating for youth aren't a social worker or aren't a youth care counsellor. We have the -- also the Foster Family Coalition who does a lot of work on behalf of youth in the territory. We have the YWCA who sits with our youth. And sometimes it is somebody from down the street. And so I'm wondering if Health will put together a resource that youth aging out of care can use so that they can find out more information and have some autonomy over the choices that they want to be able to make. Thank you.
