Further to that question, then: if you are going per capita and according to communities and it's all 33 communities, including the capital, that doesn't leave very much for small communities and regions. I would like to know the breakdown of the regional centres, the capital, and then the small communities. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Community government funding remained the same all the way through. Is that done by per capita with 33 communities, Madam Chair? Sorry, $49,853,000 on page 348.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I was just listening to a lot of the comments that were made so far today with these estimates. A lot of consultants were used, a lot of reviews, a lot of reports. I just wonder how anything could get done if we are always waiting for a report, a consultant's deadline. A consultant who probably doesn't even understand any of us here in the North. How could anything really get done, Madam Chair, when common sense is not being used in making sure that deadlines are met? Just observing everything today was mind-boggling. My first question, Madam Chair, is: we spend a lot...

The workplace assessment report validated all of the concerns of staff within NWT corrections. Until this is corrected in a professional, orderly way, would the Minister agree that no rehabilitation of our incarcerated people will properly take place?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Department of Justice recently completed a corrections service workplace assessment. Can the Minister explain how he is going to address the toxic and unhealthy workplace in the corrections system as described in this report, to ensure that our government will help to rehabilitate our incarcerated Indigenous people so that they can take charge and make changes in their lives? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The emergency management development fund for $81,000, that's the only thing I see in this whole thing for development on reserves. I would like to ask the question: we have two reserves in the Northwest Territories, one near Hay River and one in Fort Smith. Are we part of the Northwest Territories? I just want to know that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

On page 360, the grants, contradictions, and transfers, $5,200,000, how are those grants and contributions decided? Thank you, Madam Chair.

I could ask one more question that has to do with the grant-in-lieu of taxes. That is for all of the taxable communities, or does that also include the grants-in-lieu with Stanton, or does Stanton come out of Health and Social Services, just a clarity? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. For clarity, there are 33 communities. That includes the capital. I want to know how much the capital gets, how much the regional centres get, the three regional centres or whatever, and the rest for the small communities, as totals. There is a big disparity within the regions and small communities. I would like to see the disparity in numbers.

For clarity, I asked a question. I wanted to know if it was, for all 33 communities, per capita.
