Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In some ways, my questions continue on from my colleague. In my statement today I talked about the growth of the Housing First program throughout the NWT and the success it has had moving chronically homeless people out of shelters and into stable transitional housing. It's very clear that the demand for Housing First has outstripped supply. Can the Minister tell us what advice he is including in his departmental transition report on Housing First? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thanks to the Minister for that information. My understanding, then, is that we will see something before the end of this Assembly. Do I have that right?

I look forward to seeing the document when it's complete. My next question is whether any of the participants disagreed with finding a way to establish third-party reporting of sexual assault and third-party review of police handing of complaints.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's my pleasure to welcome a Page to the Legislative Assembly, Taylor Schear, who lives in Yellowknife Centre and goes to school at K'alemi Dene School. I'd like to thank her and all the Pages who are giving up some of their summer holidays to work with us here this week and next. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you to the Minister for that response. Given what the Minister does know, what is the status of this issue now that this Assembly comes to an end? How will it be carried over?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister of Justice. We have been discussing the need for new approaches to reporting sexual assault through much of this Assembly, and earlier this week the Minister tabled a letter to me about our most recent round of questions and answers in June. Today, I have some follow-up questions. The department planned to hear from stakeholders in mid-June. Can the Minister tell us about the outcome of that meeting? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to salute the exemplary service of the Yellowknife unit of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary, and to thank the volunteers for their continuing contributions to boat safety on our waters.

The Yellowknife command of the Canadian Coast Guard provides marine search and emergency rescue on the north half of Great Slave Lake. The Yellowknife CCGA operates the search and rescue vessels Nick Martin and Diavik Discovery, and collaborates closely with the RCMP in emergency response. Federal funding transfers cover the organization's rescue costs, while local...

Thank you. Given the fact that they will be entering a writ period, as well, would you anticipate that the backstop would be implemented prior to their election? Thank you.

Thank you. How does the model of the estimated cost to households relate to COLO? Is it one-to-one or half-to-one? How does it relate? Thank you.

This information is information from the media, so it may not be in the kind of detail that the Minister would appreciate, but what it says here is that municipal governments will pay 2.5 percent of the total tax -- I take that to mean all types of fuels, not only heating fuel -- and receive 3 percent of the revenues. Did the government consider a similar approach? Thank you.
