Thanks for the question, and at the risk of sounding Yukon-centric, I think most members would always applaud travel into their ridings as there's a net benefit to that. The Yukon in my estimation is broadly recognized as a leader in FASD research. I talked a little earlier about stigma. The one advantage the Yukon has is I think we've pushed over that stigma barrier. We're prepared to talk about it publicly. In a larger sense than in other regions of the country, I think we're starting to brush away the shame, which allows us to get down to the issues at hand, have those hard discussions, and come up with the solutions.
The Yukon has a well-organized group with FASSY, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Society Yukon. The government is engaged in some innovative strategies there from prevalent studies that are ongoing right now at the correctional centre on the options for independence, independent housing units that have been funded there by the Government of Canada.
The social support strategies are well embedded and growing. We have educated people in the Yukon who are deeply invested in this topic, who I dare say are not just national experts but would be recognized as international experts. I think from that point of view, there is a direct benefit. When you reach into ridings that are as far west as you can possibly get from the nation's capital, obviously the people of those regions are clearly supportive and appreciative of the attention. I think that sends a larger signal to Canada generally that if you are willing to reach out into those locations in our country, you have the best interest of the entire country at heart when you do that.
