I thank Mr. Arneill. I have one final question which I will refer to Mr. Holmes and to Ms Connolly. Suicide is an enormous issue for younger people and is happening within our secondary school system. We all have our own very sad individual stories. Mr. Holmes referred, in one of his statements, to his role as a suicide prevention ambassador. Perhaps he might expand on what that role might involve and his insights into what needs to be done on this issue. I am also interested in Ms Connolly’s input on this question.
