Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to echo what my colleague from Yellowknife North said. I want to respect the process of the intergovernmental working group in this. I think this is the exact example of where we did run out of the time at the end. I know that the Minister was open to having it go back, but we were just not able to have that fulsome conversation. It does speak to some of the motions we made or recommendations we made to have the conversations start sooner with the standing committee and having that be a lot more sort of fluid in that conversation back and forth between the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's not often that Cabinet proves my point, so I do appreciate that there is a third department that is now involved in this.

I think, again, it just speaks a little bit to what I was saying before, that there needs to be a sole direction, there needs to be a plan. We really need to be tackling this and especially given the food insecurity that people are facing. And, Mr. Speaker, I'm sure you're not immune to this. I am on a weekly basis hit up by residents of this territory for money to buy groceries for their children. And I know from speaking with my colleagues that...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I can't let the last sitting go by and not ask about outhouses. So I know that this could also follow under the infrastructure area too around highways. But I note that there are a lot of parks work that are along the highway south, and it was really highlighted during the evacuation the facilities are woefully lacking down the highway and such. And so I note that there is one outhouse construction being planned here for Fred Henne Territorial Park. But I'm wondering has anything happened with the evacuation that has made the Minister feel that perhaps we...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Okay, so that does make sense to me with what we were talking about last time. However, then, I was not aware that the plan was to reuse the existing diesel plant in the new combination one. And if there is a relocation with the $3 million, is that still happening? So we are going to be repurposing old equipment or infrastructure from the old plant rather than going to new diesel equipment? Thank you.

Thank you for that. And I do appreciate that it's a weird one with the double jurisdictions and such, but it would be a great area, I'll put the plug in again, for some sort of recreational use.

Can the Minister at least confirm that the houseboat will be removed and that it will no longer be allowed to be anchored at the dock, which really is inhibiting industry and recreational use. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So this seems to be something different than the last time we were sitting here talking about this project because at that point, it was just a one standalone supplementary LNG, and we were told that it would be going back to get a full amount of money for the LNG plant. When did this change to become a co-locate of the old diesel plant with the new LNG component. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Can the Minister tell me, then, is this a replacement of the existing dock that is there or just repairs to the dock that is there? And if it is a replacement, will the dock be larger than it is now? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just wanted to reemphasize how important this one is. I was really struck by how invested all the community members were that came about having a say in the curriculum and how things move forward and how the schools are operating within their communities. So I thought this was a great motion for us to put forward. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I'm super aware of how long cost estimates last and quotes even. I mean, you're lucky sometimes if you even get three months out of a company after they've given you a quote, so. I guess I just would be very remiss if I didn't speak a bit further to this, and general projects around the Tulita area, and the very big feeling of lack of engagement that I hear from the community, including on this bridge. They I have Members of that community come to me on numerous occasions to ask for updates on what is happening there. And the mayor has told me he does not feel...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Not to be repetitive, I would also like to welcome Mr. Daryl Dolynny to the gallery. He is my constituent of Great Slave. Unfortunately, where I sit, I can't see whoever else is in the gallery so if there are other constituents of Great Slave, I welcome them, and thank all of the senior advocates for their work and bringing this strategy forward. Thank you.
