Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to turn that to the secretary to Cabinet. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When we began this Assembly, we did not sit down and say these are the two agreements that should be concluded. We said instead of trying to do all agreements, we will shoot to make sure that two agreements are finalized. So which ones they will be were not defined at the beginning. And so we're hoping for more. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to transfer that to the Minister of ECE.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's for the Minister of ENR, Minister Thompson.

ECE.

Mr. Chair, with me I have Mr. Martin Goldney, the deputy minister of Executive and Indigenous Affairs and the secretary to Cabinet. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I do believe that there's a couple of things I heard in there and so I'm just going to take it, and then I'm going to transfer it to a different Minister actually.

Housing is one thing, and yeah, so I mean, years ago when we thought it would be cheaper to bring in modular homes is that modular homes don't transport well to the far communities in the North. So that you know, it's not going to be a reality for that. However, you always have to do the balance. Is it you know, is it you can get five modular homes for $500,000 versus one stickbuilt for $500,000, and you got...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to turn that to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Minister Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So to deal with the Nutrition North, I don't believe it has to be at the federal table with the with all of Cabinet. I think it's something that ENI can EIA can take on. It's something, like I said, I took on when I went to the communities and asked people about it. That's how we got the other communities on. I've already made the commitment I will go further with that work and ask them, you know, that of issues that they have with the program and carry that back to the federal government. So I'll follow through with my commitment. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd love to be able to say yes, that these final agreements will be signed tomorrow, today, at the end of the day. The reality is that we're one member at the negotiation table. There's three members. And so we're trying to do our best to make sure that these agreements are done in a fair equitable manner that meets the needs of the the NWT Metis Nation people and also the needs of the NWT. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
