Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned in my statement, I had the wonderful opportunity in working and associating and interacting with the youth at the Tulita workshop. The ages were 14 to 18. My question to the Minister of Health and Social Services, and I know we've had some questions previous, but adding to that, in talking to the audience, which has recently spoke out, can the Minister supply youth identify and supply some information on youth support funding sources there? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Member from the Sahtu. Minister of Health and Social Services.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the community wellness and addiction recovery fund is an area where that can be targeted for youth. Also, we do have the community suicide prevention fund, and that can also be targeted to youths or adults in any communities. And those are currently taking proposals for programs. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for providing that knowledge. As we always say in the private sector, no funding, no projects. So my next question is can the Minister share her support on the once the SSI has developed the drug and addictions strategy for the region, is the Minister willing to support a postmeeting between SSI and her department to look at the implementation of this strategy? Mahsi.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yeah, Mr. Speaker, you know, with all of the work that I've been hearing from the Member that the Sahtu is doing to try to provide wellness and the workshops that they're doing and the collaborating that they're doing, I really commend them for that because, you know, we hear so many times that our leadership are not supporting our youth and our residents and, you know, here we are, we're trying to work together, and they're working together. So I really appreciate that. And, you know, I know that we have a bilateral coming up with SSI and, you know, I can if there's further things that they want to with they're moving forward with what they want, we do have the as a regional, as SSI is a regional government, they can provide for multiyear funding. So if they have an action plan, the community wellness and addiction recovery fund with the regional governments could apply for multiyear funding agreements to probably, you know, if they want to roll out what they want to target in their region. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister for Health and Social Services. Oral questions. Member from Dehcho.
