Yeah, thanks for that. Yeah, I would really encourage that because I think if there's I know that there's reporting that goes off to the Canadian Institute of Health Research and some other places. But if there was a centralized web page on DHSS or Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority with wait times then people, when they call for a service, they'd at least kind of have some sense as to how long the wait time might be to actually get called in. So I would really encourage that we report that ourselves somewhere on a userfriendly dashboard.

I want to just go back to the...

Yeah, okay. No, thanks for that detail. I guess my last question is what's the status of the seniors strategy? And I'm if I didn't if it fits in somewhere else. Just this seems like a logical place to ask. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I don't want to dig us into a bunch of different holes here. But is there what about a dashboard? We had the COVID dashboard, you know, during the pandemic where people could easily find data on their communities and so on vaccination levels, incidents, all that kind of stuff. Do we have anything like that for wait times? And if not, is that something we're looking at or going to do? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, look, where the money comes from, I understand it's from the feds, it's for another year. I think we're going to have to look at making this a permanent program. But I wanted to ask about the page 203, home care and support services. You know, back in 20212022, it was almost $24 million then it went down. It's going back up a little bit. What's happening with this line item? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Madam la Presidente. Committee wishes to deal with Tabled Document 81319(2), 20232024 Main Estimates, Health and Social Services. Mahsi, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. A few questions here. I'm just wondering if what's happening with the paid family caregiver pilot project, and is it still going; is it going to be expanded? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. I'm going to get the Minister a ride on an ebike. You know, the Yukon is really ahead of us. They allow for retailers to offer rebates directly to customers and online purchases in the Yukon are also eligible, so and we have at least one retailer of ebikes in the NWT. But can the Minister tell us whether the NWT whether NWT retailers will be able to offer the rebate directly to customers and whether online purchases will be eligible for the NWT ebike rebate? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Okay, yeah, no, thanks, I appreciate that. You know, I guess once an individual is diagnosed, what sort of support are we able to offer? Are there, like, case workers assigned or other staff within the system that can provide support and assistance? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. I'm pretty charged up, thanks to the Minister. Great news. My statement also dealt with reprofiling of funds between programs offered by Arctic Energy Alliance. I'm not sure that all the ontheland evehicles fund is going to be subscribed so I'm hoping that the Minister's going to allow for funds to be switched around within the ebike or sorry, the eprogram.

So will the Minister ensure that funding within Arctic Energy Alliance for electrical vehicle rebates can be reprofiled to where the need is greatest? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Yeah, okay. Thanks. No, and I expected that would be the case. Is this service offered in the correctional centres as well? Thanks, Madam Chair.
