Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a written question for the Minister of Health and Social Services regarding changes to child and youth counselling services.
So it has been just over two years since health and social services child and youth counsellors were shifted out of schools and the number of health and social services counsellors reduced, so my questions are to the Minister of Health and Social Services:
1. Can the Minister provide the number of children and youth, broken down by community or region, who have been accessing child and youth counselling services over each of the past two years.
2. Recognizing that the scope of the program has changed since 2023, it would still be helpful if the Minister could provide the number of children and youth, again broken down by community or region, who previously accessed child and youth counselling services over each of the prior two years before the changes were made in October 2023.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
