Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. So can the witness confirm that in fact decreasing this category had nothing to do with the money available in the federal bilateral? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Justice. As I said in my statement, the Yukon government is piloting a program to train people to write Gladue reports. The purpose of these reports is to inform the court of the Indigenous offender's background so that the judge can take this information into consideration for sentencing. My question is: has the Minister given any thought to funding a report-writing program like the one in the Yukon here in the NWT?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witness for that explanation. Of this money that is coming to the territories through the new bilateral agreement, with all the caveats we've previously heard about, how much of this money is going to be allocated to the North Slave? Thank you.

Sure, Mr. Chair. My observation is that, rather than having an additional $1.5 million available for modernization and improvements, there is actually $750,000 available. My question is: could the difference have been made up in another way, rather than reducing minor modernization and improvements? Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So what I am hearing, then, is that the $1.5 million from the bilateral agreement is not really $1.5 million; it's more like $750,000 once it's plugged into all of the other variables. Is that correct? Thank you.

Thank you. So this is not a pilot program; this is ongoing staffing costs that we will see in every budget going forward. Is that correct? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Could the Minister please remind us how that money is going to be allocated? Thank you.

Thank you for that. I understand that recently there was an agreement to transfer homelessness from ECE to the Housing Corporation. Is that reflected in these mains? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks to the Minister for that. I'm talking here about communities that have a market, such as Yellowknife, not communities which only have public housing. What does success look like for the Housing Corporation in terms of getting people to buy homes? How many homes do they hope to sell in the next fiscal year? Thank you.
