COMMITTEE MOTION 12-17(4): FUNDING FOR YOUTH ADDICTIONS EDUCATION AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS, CARRIED

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a motion. I move that this committee strongly recommends the government take immediate action to supplement funding that is currently identified for youth addiction education and prevention programs. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The motion is in order. It is being distributed. To the motion, committee. Mr. Yakeleya.

Madam Chair, with the support of the committee, this motion is on the floor to talk about the funding that is needed for our youth. There is a high population of youth in our community, and education around addiction and prevention programs needs to be fully supported and recognized for the amount of issues that the young people are dealing with and the harmful effects, the community effects, the impact of addiction and prevention programs that have taken our young population, and that this motion comes from the committee to see the priority in our funding of these types of programs, especially for our young generation. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. To the motion.
