Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. You know, the federal government likes to make these big grand announcements of funding that they're giving to the territory, to everywhere across our territory in regards to housing projects and other projects, but that still doesn't change the CMHC's housing allotment for a community. Until that changes, that's the biggest hurdle that we have to deal with in this government in regards to housing for the communities and the numbers. I could use another 20 houses in Paulatuk, another 20 in Ulu, same thing, 5 or 6 in Sachs maybe, and 20 in Tuk. We have no housing...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just in regards to that, that comment, I think with the CMHC, they might give us money but they don't give us housing allotments. Who's got the authority to change the housing numbers per community? Is it the territorial government or CMHC for the funding that we're getting? Thank you.

Okay, thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you for that because it's the lack of support in the community of Tuk for that tourism. It's a lack of support our government is giving them. Using their own money that's taking away from the community for their roads, for the water, their sewage, for sporting events. It's not that we're not creating a new a new expenditure here. It's just what we're not doing. And I see two pages on this of everything else being covered but that. Tuk shouldn't the mayor and the council shouldn't be picking and choosing what they could do with what little they have. It's...

Thank you, Madam Chair. The Minister could correct me if I'm wrong. The RV park is in the hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk, in the hamlet boundaries. So in the hamlet boundaries, the hamlet falls under the GNWT. The GNWT should be providing this service. Am I wrong? Can she correct me? Thank you.

Two trailers, Madam Chair. So make it happen. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Well, that I wouldn't say in the House that like, it's a lie. I had this company sorted out, lined up for them. I went out. I did all the groundwork for them. It would have took six weeks for these portables to be built. And I had them ready for August 15th coming into Tuk if we followed the plan.

Tell me where the money went in regards to being told I'm allowed to have two trailers in the community, not four, on the floor of the House? It's in Hansard. I want these trailers. I want safety of the youth in my community of Mangilaluk School deserve no less than here, no...

Mangilaluk school, page 21. In regards to can I have an update from this Minister in regards to a finished timeline? And I have other questions with that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Why? I was promised in the House in the Legislative Assembly during a regular sitting day by the Minister of the day, which is sitting across from me, saying we're allowed to have two, two portables, not four, could do two. We had everything sorted out. Why aren't why is that money not in place to get them done? And it's shameful. They all I always say they got a Minister's directive not to be told they could put it down. Why didn't they pull that trigger when they had the chance? What is going on here is not right, and they know it. They got to look at themselves in the mirror. I got to...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just give you a little bit of history. April, when we left the House, my mayor of Tuk called me. He was asking me to take the lead on it in regards to it. So I sourced out the land. I sourced out the trailers. I sourced everything out. Did all that work for our government. Had a commitment in this House for two trailers. I tried to get four but I only got two.

And all of a sudden when it's time to purchase the trailers for the community because we're they're looking at adult ed taking away from the community. They were at the time. They were going to take away the gym...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Noah Henry Carpenter an lnuvialuk from Sachs Harbour, Northwest Territories, known by, in lnuvialuit, as lkaahuk. He was the son of Fred Carpenter and Ada Gruben. He was known as Dr. Noah Carpenter. On behalf of his family, friends and relatives, I would like to share a part of his story of his life.

I begin with some excerpts from CBC Canada. Dr. Noah Carpenter was a highly skilled surgeon, the first lnuvialuk surgeon in Canada. He passed away recently, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and inspiration to many fellow Northerners. Originally from Sachs Harbour...
