Yeah, that would make sense. I guess my concern is what is our contingency plan should NTPC, in all of their infinite wisdom, struggle to find a solution here to what is going on and then we have all these supply chain challenges that are only continuing to get worse as we have disruptions to services through fires and other and flooding and other events? I'm very, very concerned that this is being left in NTPC's hands and that at some point, the diesel plant will fall into the river, or at least become unusable and unsafe, and there will be no LNG plant to replace it. So are we going to then...

Thank you. The Minister has my empathy with that as I worked at Giant Mine and dealt with the houseboat that was sitting in the mouth of Baker Creek for over a decade as well as we are all aware of the ones that were off of the point there at Rotary Park. So I'm hoping the city's going to get that harbour plan going that's been talked about for the last decade but that's not this Minister's problem. So thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair; it's been a long week. That's pretty broad, in 2022, and just makes me think that perhaps it was not communicated to us properly in the last sitting, what was actually going on with this project. I struggle to see why we are continuing to waffle or go back and forth on what's happening here given that, really, our increased flooding and climate change driven emergencies are likely going to mean that that diesel plant where it is now is no longer going to be useable. Can the Minister or the department speak to the fact of why a decision was made not to move to full LNG...

Thank you. I'm willing to take that at a later date if the Minister could provide me with a bit of the details around the planned work. I would assume that some of that is still being figured out, but as much as I could get ahead of time, that would be great. I definitely know this will be a concern to people in the upcoming election, and they are going to want to know what use is. And I guess I just want to take the time to make a plug on behalf of my constituents and advocate for the whatever happens there, replacement or repair, that there is a portion of the dock that remains accessible...

Madam Chair, I think it would be very remiss if we didn't talk with this motion about the incidences that we have seen over the last while in some of our schools, which includes some pretty disturbing video footage that was shot in the community of Fort Simpson. I did not see anything in that video that showed a traumainformed or culturallyappropriate approach.

And giving in watching that video, it was very disturbing to see that there was comments being made, and in contact with the family afterwards, they told me that their child no longer wants to go to school and very much spoke to me...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Now I'm in the right place to ask about the Fort Simpson LNG and such.

In a presentation we were given, it was told that the relocation of the diesel plant was changed but it had a $3 million price tag. I'm a little bit confused as to where the two different projects are at. Are we still relocating the diesel plant? Is that not happening now? Sort of what's going on; could the Minister maybe speak a little bit more to that situation. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I note that this money, the $750,000, is for the Robertson Drive dock rehab, which is in my riding. It's my understanding it is through the ICIP fund, which means at this point it's been 100 percent funded by the federal government, which I think is great. I do note, though, that it doesn't show up anywhere in the parks area. So my guessing, then, or my question for the Minister is the dock money or this money earmarked just to repair the dock that's there, or will this be an expansion to sort of the day use and other area around that? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have to say that this bill, and our taking it on the road, was probably one of the more impactful ones that I have had in the last while, or has struck me in the last while, was that just how deeply and passionate the people in the territory are about the education system and really where the state of it is when you look outside of Yellowknife. I didn't expect to hear the stories that I heard I guess, really. And I do want to like I my colleague said, express my thank you to those that shared with us. A lot of it, and you know yourself, Madam Chair, as being part of...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would be remiss if we were talking about bridges and I didn't bring up the Great Bear River bridge. It has, I have to say, would have been a disappointment for me to not see this project advance at all, really, in the four years considering I had actually tried to be part of the team to build it in 2018 or 2017. So knowing the money has been sitting around for that long, it's quite concerning to me that we are not advancing that. And I guess just to kind of get a little bit of a plug in for anybody listening that may want to sit in the 20th, to me I can't stress an...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The beautiful autumn season is upon us. This is a time for harvesting, storing away our summer items as we prepare for colder months ahead. It is a time of wrapping up projects, to make room for new work and new stories. We end one season with a sense of gratitude for the memories we have created and look forward to making more over the coming months. However, for many, the fall season is a stark reminder of the time when children's voices full of play and laughter ceased to be heard in their community. Fall was the time when children, as young as three years old, were...
