Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister did answer part of my next question, but I'll ask it anyway. Does the Housing Corporation have an overall territory-wide plan for unit remediation specific to mould rather than having this work delegated to an individual? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, in terms of prevention, how does the Housing Corporation advise and work with tenants to prevent mould growth, whether that's a communication plan, preventative maintenance, or other strategies?

Voices on Housing tells us that one resident wrote, "The Housing Corporation needs to be aware that some repairs cannot be made by tenants themselves. Example: mould is not always the result of poor cleaning habits." Our sister territory, Nunavut, knows this. Their government plans to use $2.6 million in federal money for repairs to tackle their territory's major mould problem. As we know, Nunavut will also see $240 million in housing money over the next decade. Meanwhile, the NWT will see just $36 million.

That begs the question, Mr. Speaker, just what is the Housing Corporation going to do...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Sorry, I didn't catch you there. I just have a question under forest management under Fort McPherson, Schiltee Lookout Tower Upgrade. From what I understand, the plan was to move the location of where the department was planning to put it. I would just like to verify that, thank you.

Mr. Speaker, now in terms of remediation, what can Housing Corporation tenants do when they identify mould problems in their units?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as follow-up to my Member's statement, I have a few questions for the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. Mr. Speaker, I would like to tell the Minister that I was pleased to hear yesterday that the Minister will be talking with Canada about the funding disparity between the northern territories. Can the Minister commit to following up with Regular Members on the outcome of our housing meetings with federal Minister Duclos? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Next, we have Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We will just keep going back and forth all night here. I wanted to bring up a little concern that one of my constituents brought up last year. His partner was actually working in junior kindergarten last year, and they are really concerned that they were not really expecting to have to deal with  because, from what I understand, let's say a threeyearold who is turning four in, say, December, then they are eligible to attend. You know, in some cases, some of the students that are going to junior kindergarten are still in Pampers. It was a huge concern that they were not...

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Next, we have Ms. Green.

Thank you, Minister Moses. Mr. Simpson.
