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. Mr. Speaker, my riding, we rely on fuel for everything transportation, to heat our homes, to hunt. In essence, Mr. Speaker, we basically need fuel to live.

When the prices get bad in the south, it even gets worse in the Beaufort Delta and Nunakput. Three or four communities in my riding have the price our fuel set by the Government of the...

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, Mr. Chair. I move that the committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories proactively disclose information contained in the registry of the Act, described in section 13 of the Act, by making it publicly available. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that the committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories make the report as described in section 68 of the act publicly available. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for that. You know, home care, it works good until it's so much pressure on the family that they have to stay up 24 hours a day taking care of their mother or their father or their loved one that they're not going to want to let go. They're going to push themselves right to the very end until they have no choice, until they burn themselves out. And that's the kind of that's where we're from. That's where I come from. We don't want to let our elders go because once they're in Inuvik they're not going to come home.

Like, you know, working, I did talk to the Minister about this. I mean...
