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...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yeah, I just for myself, I think like I did last week, you know, I called everybody out on suicide prevention. Now it's the same thing but it's in a different light we're using. We're using our youth now to give them opportunity. We don't give them they're pushed to the side, you know. We have to stop this in regards to making a way for them. We can't just say oh, youth are our future and not do nothing for them. We got to stand up for them and let in this House, and do something for them instead of just lip service. So I will be talking to the Minister, and I...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Thank you for that, Mr. Minister. We've been two years now we've been getting through the COVID pandemic. Now we're preCOVID, I've been asking for this 18 months ago, in regards to trying to do something for our adults, for our elders, for our youth, our young adults. So I think that if the funding is there, why aren't they doing it themselves? Why do we have to come forward and do the job for them? If they're able to the monies that they do get, Madam Speaker, for the territorial trials, it's territorials before you go for the main for the Arctic Winter Games. So...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Today I'm here, Madam Speaker, in regards to our youth in our communities.

Our sporting events like we used to have back in the 90s, that fell short because of funding, I think what we really need to do is, because we have so much suicide that's been going on, we have to catch them at an earlier stage in life, for our youth and our young adults that are coming up. What I really want to see is working with the Minister of MACA, Madam Speaker, is to get that rejuvenated in all 33 communities again. So Inuvik would do basketball or hockey or soccer, and Aklavik will do...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The committee's report was read into the record on Tuesday, October 18th, 2022. At this time, I do not have any additional comments to add to this at this time. Individual Members may have comments on the report. And I would like to thank the committee for their work on this report. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, just in regards to, like my colleague, Mr. Johnson, I am liking the new format of the spending on our and I see so much that says Nunakput on it, so I'll be supporting this for sure. And it's good to see. But just a couple of questions I do have with the contracts that we do have out, the numbers I got start off with the Mangilaluk School.

We have a contract that's out. We asked for reports I guess, on who's hired, like for community, because I know there's not too many community hires in the community of Tuk. And it's all seems to be outsiders, so. And we...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I know that with the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation receives $76 million last year for housing. Is this Minister working with the Inuvialuit to try to work together to combine funding to get houses into the communities? And then my last one or not my last one. But the people in Sachs Harbour, for say, they paid two years into a program that they were told that they had the unit. But there was the two years that they paid the rent without the House being signed over. Will the Minister commit to that couple once, that verbal commitment was made by the...
