La première ministre Caroline Cochrane a fait la déclaration suivante au sujet de la santé mentale et du bien-être des Ténois durant la pandémie COVID-19 :
« Cela fait près de huit mois que l’Organisation mondiale de la santé a déclaré la pandémie de COVID-19. C’est l’un des moments les plus difficiles de notre vie, et il nous a tous mis à rude épreuve.
Mr. Speaker, in addition to describing these times as unprecedented, the need to “pivot” business models and methods has become one of the buzz words during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr. Speaker, taking action to improve services and supports to reduce the number of Indigenous children and youth in the care is a priority for this government. The 2019-2020 Annual Report of the Director of Child and Family Services that I will be tabling later today, shows a continued trend of overrepresentation of Indigenous children and youth receiving protection and prevention services under our legislation. This is a national issue, Mr.
Mr. Speaker, increasing employment in small communities is one of the priorities outlined in the priorities for the 19th Legislative Assembly. Now more than ever, as we begin to plan for social and economic recovery from COVID-19, we need to ensure there are opportunities for meaningful employment and economic development for our people to keep our communities and territory strong.
