No, thank you, Madam Chair. Just in regards to I find a comment on that just, I guess we got to find a way in regards to seeing what the federal government's doing in regards to settled land claims holding up projects, putting it into screening. You know, it's if the Minister would I guess work with her colleagues and our Premier to take a look at that, to make sure that this this shouldn't be happening. And so if she could just commit to that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we live climate change every day where we are from. I have shoreline erosion programs. I have so much going on. We have colder winters, more a lot less snow but colder, longer periods of time. You know that, you live up back in the Delta with us. Mr. Speaker, at the end of the day this carbon tax has to be really looked at and either make it help me help you. Put a tiered system in. Tier one Yellowknife, tier two Sahtu, tier three Beaufort Delta. Pretty simple. If they could do that and then talking again to talk to Canada, why do we have to pay? We're the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And yeah, no, I'm just wondering if the Minister could work with our Minister of ECE to explore expanded home heating subsidy program for our Arctic region for our elders and people, private homeowners, that are in that system. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to talk about the fuel prices in my riding of Nunakput, Mr. Speaker. Across Canada, it seems year over year significant increases in the fuel prices turn, and it raises the price of overall cost of living in our riding.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 125)

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, just in regards to Madam Minister that the GNWT do I guess did we talk to your federal counterparts in regards to seeing where they could go with this holdup in regards to put into screening? When it like, I'll argue again, I mean, it is a land claim and it's 71A lands. The people of Tuk own that land. And that land claim was signed in 1984. So why are they pushing it to screening and why is it going the way it's going when it shouldn't be with our federal government. Thank you, Madam Chair.
