Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Wherever COVID-19 is found around the world, three negative effects of confinement are beginning to emerge, and they are mental health, substance abuse, and family and domestic violence.
First, I will address the National Association of Friendship Centres, and perhaps also Grand Chief Jerry Daniels.
Can you tell us whether your associations and the organizations you are in contact with have also observed an increase in these negative effects since the beginning of the pandemic?
Since there is always a need for prevention, I would like to know what you need to do to adequately counter these kinds of negative effects, and the solutions you would recommend to do so.
