Okay, thank you for that. Earlier today, Mr. Chair, I spoke about the backlog of work in the public guardian's office, and the public trustee's office is in some ways a mirror image of the public guardian, and I'm wondering if the Public Trustee's Office is facing the avalanche of applications for service that the public guardian is? Specifically, they have 72 applications pending at this time. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Statistical information will be satisfactory. I'm concerned about this change, while noticing that there's been a decline in use, just with reference to our mandate, which says that we will make justice accessible to the residents of the NWT. So I feel like we need to make good on that, and tracking how much demand for services there is an important of part of that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the Minister for that answer. So if I'm one of the 50 people who is now waiting for the Public Guardian to adjudicate my application, how much longer should I expect to wait?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, that makes lots of sense. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if the Minister could commit to tracking calls from Inuvik through the remainder of this fiscal year so that he can determine exactly what the demand is and whether the wait times people face are reasonable. Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. What can the Minister do now with discretionary reserves and funds to hire more resources to clear the backlog of applications to the Public Guardian? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think this is the right place to ask this question from the opening remarks. The Minister mentioned a reduction of 24 per cent in total energy intensity. I just want a definition of that phrase so that I'm sure that I understand it. Thank you.
