Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, exactly what the Member is talking about, this -- in the last couple years, the community wellness and recovery addictions funding is specifically to application-based from Indigenous governments or groups in the community that can apply for any type of programming that they want to offer in their community. And as it is right now today, in the Member's riding, the Gwich'in Tribal Council has received $303,000 from that fund and the -- they've -- also the Tetlit Gwich'in Band has also received $24,200 for that fund for this fiscal year. As well as there are funding for those youth that are struggling and possibly to -- you know, with our small communities, there's a high risk for suicide, so a suicide prevention fund within the community. GTC received $72,500 towards the Gwich'in communities, and the Tetlit Gwich'in also gets $71,533 directly into the Tetlit Gwich'in Council. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
