I thank the Minister and his officials for being with us. I am particularly interested in youth services. We did a lot of work on the national youth justice strategy. I am wondering about the actions and interests concerning youth services and engagement with teenagers, in particular teenage Travellers, that pertain to the Minister's Department. Perhaps the Minister would give us an update. I think some of the actions in the strategy relate to youth services. What progress has been made in that regard? Youths and teenagers, in particular, are vulnerable, especially where mental health is concerned, in these times.
