Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Premier. Many of the non-governmental organizations, like the Tree of Peace and others, provide services or subcontracted services to accommodate residents that perhaps are not able to get them otherwise. As I mentioned, many of these workers have not had a cost-of-living or salary increase in many years. While I understand the GNWT does not fund these organizations directly, can the Premier tell me what she is doing to ensure that there is more funding for NGOs that support our communities? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I know it's not exactly in this area, but what are the terms or the end dates of the positions of the COVID secretariat employees, which would be in part of their contracts? Wouldn't we not, then, have an estimated end date, or do they all go to the end of March, as well? Thank you.

Thank you for that. Is the reason, then, that this lease is not being done through Infrastructure as our leases do normally because it would be expiring and is not a long-term lease? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am looking at page 196 at the Centre Square Tower office space. Can the Minister speak to what does that lease cover? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Maybe the department could provide that SOA to us, to the standing committee, and maybe the one from before, just so we can see how those rates have increased? I would imagine that they would have to in order to continue to be able to run. I think at this time, I don't have any further questions, Madam Chair. Thanks.

Thank you, Madam Chair. When we had the Premier in front of us to talk to us about Executive and Indigenous Affairs, I asked where payouts to former deputy ministers would be found, and she mentioned that they would all be found within the individual departments' budgets, so would this be where we would find payouts to deputy ministers or former staff in this area of the budget? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The cost of the flights for people to Edmonton, did they change over the year due to COVID, or were they already set in place for the upcoming year? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, I had heard from a few constituents, particularly older constituents, who then chose to make it kind of a weekend down with the spouse or something as they were going to have to self-isolate together anyways. I'm really glad to hear that, and probably should have done a little bit more of my own homework before I asked that question. Again, I'm assuming that you had said that the numbers are going up this year for both the Extended Health Benefits and the medical travel benefits. However, there seems to always be quite a range. Is this due to just it's difficult...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would just like the Minister to maybe speak a bit on optimization of these types of programs. Is the department looking at policy and procedural implementation, such as, for example, drivers' logs, inspection records, safety programs like that that actually have been shown to reduce maintenance costs, et cetera? Thank you, Madam Chair.
