Yeah, okay, thanks. Yeah, so there is some of our own money going in here. This is one that's experienced very significant slippage. Quite frankly, I just don't think we should be doing it for a whole variety of other reasons; I might get into some of that. But at what point will this project be in by the end of 20242025; what's the status of the work going to be and what will we get out of the 2 or $3 million of our own money that we're putting into it? Thank you.

Merci, Monsieur le President. My questions are for the Minister of Environment and Climate Change who also conveniently serves as the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs.

Later today, I'll table a request for proposal for a Northwest Territories 2023 Wildfire Response Review. It appears to be a standard afterincident review, but I just want to get it on the public record that this is not the comprehensive, independent review of fire and emergency management that we've talked about in this House. So can the Minister confirm that there will be that there will be a comprehensive and...

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I want to thank my colleague from Yellowknife North for raising a number of concerns and issues, particularly around the Taltson project. But I guess I just want to go on record as well. This is the area of the capital budget that I have the most difficulty with, and folks in this House are not going to be surprised to hear me say that I think many of these projects are very dubious value. I don't think they're all it's not possible for them to all go ahead at the same time. I think it was a mistake to try to say to the public that we're going to get these three...

Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the Minister for that and, of course, when he comes back, I'm going to be happy to help him with the ribbon cutting and getting the Archives Act drafted up and ready to go. So in my statement, though, I mentioned that very significant archival records on the history of the political development of the Northwest Territories are stored in a totally inadequate government warehouse. We're kind of lucky it didn't burn down this summer. So can the Minister tell us how long these records have been stored there and whether there are any plans for proper...

Okay. No, that's fine. Look, I understand the value of the area. It is important. It's used recreationally now. I want to see it developed. I just want to make sure that it can be done safely and that we're in doing this project, we're not going to expose people or workers to stuff that they shouldn't be exposed to. So that's why I'm asking these questions, and I'm just wondering whether the company has any residual responsibility because I think it's adjacent or a part of their original operations over a number of years. So that's why I'm asking these questions, and these are the kinds of...

Merci, Monsieur le President. My questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. I mentioned in my statement that I've lost track of how many studies, reports, and proposals I've seen regarding the inadequate and sad state of the 46yearold territorial museum building. Can the Minister tell us what the current plans are for replacing, expanding, and/or renovating the space occupied by the NWT archives and museum? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Okay, thanks. I guess I'm just a bit concerned that there might be potential contamination in the fill that was used for the dock, around the dock, and that we may have incurred some liability in accepting that property, which wouldn't be the first time, or at least the property back from the mining company. And I don't know, is there what, if any, responsibility does Miramar Con residual responsibility does it have with regard to remediation the dock if there's contamination there and so on. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Yeah, I guess belief is one thing, but I guess I'd want a definitive answer. My concern is that the property is still under active remediation as far as I understand. And I'm just wondering what responsibility, if any, does Miramar Con have for remediation of the dock. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Madam la Presidente. Committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 97319(2) Capital Estimates 20242025, Tabled Document 97419(2) Supplementary Estimates, Committee report 6119(2), Bills 81, 93, and 94. Mahsi, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have some questions about this, if I could. I think we I'm trying to remember if I actually saw this motion before. But can the Minister tell us a little bit more about what this is actually about, what kind of revenues we expect?
