Thank you, Madam Chair. Just in regards to the units that I have going into my communities on the project listings, I just want to make sure that we are getting stickbuilt and we're not getting prefab units because we are getting it looks like they're trying to send the prefab unit in the community of Tuk. And talking with my leadership, they don't want it. They want stickbuilt units, which are going to provide work and be able to provide a little bit a little bit of employment. And it's the same thing right across within Paulatuk, Ulukhaktok, you know, all of my communities, they should be...

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.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, Bill 52, Elevators and Lifts Act, received second reading in the Legislative Assembly on May 31st, 2022, and was referred to the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Environment for review.

On September 28th, 2022, the standing committee held a public hearing and completed its clausebyclause review with the Minister of Infrastructure. The committee received no submissions on this bill.

I thank the committee for reviewing this legislation and the individual Members that may have additional comments. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that the Government of the Northwest Territories proactively disclose the information contained in the registry described in the section 13 of the act by making it publicly available without fees for access. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm rescinding the motion as the wording is not the same as the recommendation included in the committee report. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Pursuant to Rule 6.2(13) that allows the motion to be withdrawn before debate with the consent of the seconder, the Rule 9.1(7) which allows the motion to be moved into Committee of the Whole without a seconder, I wish to withdraw the Committee Motion 30319(2). Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Looking back, I guess I try to cross the whole Northwest Territories, I think we should be talking to Canada now in regards to the carbon tax and why do we have to pay? We're small enough in the territory. We have 35,000 people. It's just going to draw more hardship on our families, our young mothers in social housing in regards to and our elders that are private homeowners. There needs be more money given out instead of being starting to try to claw back. Can the Minister commit to talking to Canada in regards to working with them to see if we could, you know, not...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the GNWT, CRA provides a cost of living offset to individuals in the program to offset the costs of territorial carbon tax. Can the Minister of Finance look into implementing the cost of living to offset that IT provides Nunakput residents in the Beaufort Delta with the same assistance because it recognize their higher cost of living in a tiered system? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Make a statement, Madam Chair; we're failing. All the stuff that we're doing in all the major retrofits and stuff like that, like I asked them in regards to taking units the out, giving them to clients so we could get CMHC funding to get more units put into the community. Nothing. We tried to work with them. Nothing. All the stuff that we do with this Minister, we wear it as just like in the communities that she said she come to visit. I'm still waiting on numerous, probably three or four things that need to be done from those visits. So all this stuff that we're talking about right now, you...

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.
