(audio) is in relation to the presentations that were given to SCRIA. I made it very clear that educating those who have never been involved in land claim issues and sitting at a table was not the priority hopefully of SCRIA. I have a real problem when I have I was sitting there. I almost decided I was going to leave at one point because I didn't think that was going to be overkill on the presentations of all these people who said they were this and that and that and the other. And had no no knowledge of what was actually going on at the table. And I felt very strongly about that, and I want...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I too want to thank all the Indigenous governments that we heard in the hearings. And I didn't always agree with the people that presented, okay. These were people that were from the south, lawyers and academics that cannot speak for the people of the North.

Being a Chief for 14 years and at the negotiating table with two levels of government during those 14 years has not been always beneficial. And at that time, the territorial government was the main the main problem within those negotiations. I cannot say that it is like that today because considering that there has...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The IPC’s annual report identifies staff who are underresourced, undertrained in or unaware of privacy policies as a frequent cause of privacy breaches. When he investigates breaches, the IPC frequently recommends comprehensive and regular training. He also recommends the broader publication of relevant policies.

However, there is no governmentwide policy to ensure all employees receive proper training on the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information.

The issue is so important that it was the focus of the IPC’s one recommendation in his appearance before...

Mr. Speaker, in an April 29th email, the finance minister said that officials with Housing NWT met with Salt River First Nation in April to discuss housing priorities, including the Tiny Home Pilot Project.

Can the Minister provide more detail with what her department will be doing next to financially support Salt River in getting this project underway? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, does the Minister of Finance believe that Fort Smith deserves a solution in addressing homelessness? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I just have a couple questions for clarity.

One of the questions I wanted to clarify, the different objectives of the Council of Leaders and the Intergovernmental Council. Because I remember sitting on the Intergovernmental Council, which was a federal a federal kind of criteria that you had to follow to sit on the Intergovernmental Council and all of a sudden now we have the Council of Leaders, and a lot of the ones that are on the Council of Leaders are not I mean, they both have different perspectives but, you know, it's confusing to if I'm confused a bit about this, can you imagine...

In favour.

Mr. Speaker, will the Minister commit to assist Salt River First Nation with their application to the National Housing CoInvestment Fund, including a letter of support assisting them with the project? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell us if she and her department treat people living on reserves, including members of the Salt River First Nation, differently than other people or communities within the NWT? If so, can she explain why that is. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in March I made a statement about homelessness, where I highlighted a tiny homes pilot project which Salt River First Nation is trying to get underway with the help of additional funding. At the time, the housing minister would not commit to allocate any funds to this project because it is a project solely for members of the Salt River First Nation.

Well, Mr. Speaker, that is a narrow view of looking at the situation. I like to look at things in a broader context to see the bigger picture.

This tiny home project is an innovative solution in addressing the...
