Yes, Madam Chair.

In favour.

Opposed.

In favour.

So I'm happy that the Premier had some commitments made from the Prime Minister regarding costs. I don't know what those commitments are in detail yet and the criteria that is required. But maybe, you know, I'm hoping she covers all the travel, the evacuation costs, hotels, financial assistance to residents. And you know what, and some of the suppression, because we don't have the infrastructure, like she said, and I'm very happy that she did that and made it very clear the lack of infrastructure in the Northwest Territories.

You know, many times we are forgotten because, you know, we're a...

I MOVE, second by the honourable Member for Hay River North, that when this House adjourns on Friday, June 2nd, 2023, it shall be adjourned until Wednesday, August 16, 2023.

AND FURTHER, at any time prior to August 16th, 2023, if the Speaker is satisfied, after consultation with the Executive Council and Members of the Legislative Assembly, that the public interests requires that the House should meet at an earlier time during the adjournment, or at a time later than the schedule resumption of the House, the Speaker may give notice and thereupon the House shall meet at the time stated in such...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Only when we do these kind of changes will I regain my confidence in Housing NWT, because I feel that the underprivileged and some of the situations that I tried to navigate through in the last four years have not been dealt with, and I feel that change is with oversight, neutrality, no judgement, and making sure that the underprivileged are looked after. Would the Minister agree with me? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to for the record, to talk about the housing stability worker for Fort Smith and the South Slave. And I want to ask the Minister about this because I think the person has to have certain criteria. The criteria should be a person without judgement, a neutral person, a person who can navigate underprivileged clients in getting through the system for housing, and therefore it should not be it should not be a person who is part of the Housing NWT office in Hay River. It should have a separate office. And that's the way that's the only way we would solve the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to reinforce my belief in the expansion of the Taltson as a greater greener energy. I don't always agree with my colleague, and I want to make sure that there has to be some support for the staff and the direction that is taken for greener energy and for climate change in the Northwest Territories. You know, we have to give the new president and their staff an opportunity to do that. It hasn't been long since he's been in that position. There are some things that are not quite right with regards to how it's done, but I just want to make sure that greener...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think that this navigator housing navigator with a neutral approach would be the answer to some of the issues that many of us have been bringing forward. Especially myself, I felt that I didn't get this is the one file that I feel that many times that I failed on. As a very strong I feel like a strong MLA who navigates for people who have not been treated fairly within the system. And I still feel that way. And with the new policy that has come out for homelessness and all that, I hope that changes, and I look forward to change. And I think it should be a priority...
