Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think I heard him say in there that there was value for money, but it was sort of a little bit longer answer than I had expected. Can the Minister tell me how oversubscribed this fund is in terms of the applications that are received? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. That is all I have for now. Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister give us an update on the status of the action plan on disabilities, where we are at with it? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think it is probably the place where I will ask my usual question about midwifery services, the status of the territorial program, and services in Yellowknife. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. A couple of questions here. The fees and payments and travel lines seem to be declining over time, and I'm just curious to know what's going on with those two items. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the response from the Minister. It sounds like she has started to do some homework around this. That is a good thing, but there is model legislation out there already. I am happy to share it with the Minister to try to move this along. I know that the operator who has brought this to my attention is looking at a chemical process, so emissions are really kept to a minimum.

I guess what I am looking for now from the Minister, though, is: can she commit to taking the lead on this issue with her Cabinet colleagues to ensure that there is a timely resolution, within...

Thank you to the Minister for that list of legislation. We've got the list now. How does the regulation of cremation fit into the legislative agenda for the department? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Merci, monsieur le President. I, too, would like to thank all the students for coming out and watching the proceedings in the House today. I also have two pages who are serving us in the House today. Ethan Horn and Mia MacInnis are from the Frame Lake riding. Welcome to the House, and thank you for your service. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. So we get $1.8 million in applications for a fund that is $500,000. That, to me, sounds like a pretty good case for why we should increase the pot of money. I understand the Minister wants to develop some sort of an evaluation framework, but I understood this evaluation framework was much broader than just looking at the value for this money that is invested. I had understood that the evaluation framework was really looking at: are we making progress towards eliminating poverty? Maybe the Minister can help me understand this. Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am looking at page 168, the anti-poverty fund that is listed on this page. I am just wondering if I could confirm with the Minister that he is of the view that the money that is given out through this program is generally to NGOs and that NGOs make good use of this money and that we are getting really good value for the money that is spent there. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
