No, thanks. Appreciate all the information and the responses. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the Minister for her statement there. There was also 21 different surveys open only to those holding prospecting licenses. No data from these surveys is compiled or presented in the "what we heard" report. If these surveys had been open to others, there could have been some useful data generated on, you know, possible divergence of views.

Can the Minister explain why these 21 surveys were only open to prospecting license holders and indicate whether any actual data will be publicly presented? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that the chair rise and report progress.

Thanks, Madam Chair. No, okay, for the one that is in place, is there any kind of I don't know, it would be nice to know if there's been a news release or do they report, do they say anything I understand that probably some of it may be stuff that has to be communicated carefully or whatever to the department but and correctional managers or whatever. But how does the public kind of know that these things are actually up and going and what they do? Thanks, Madam Chair.

The report attempts to summarize 13 submissions that appear to have been sent, 11 online and two written submissions. Those written submissions are actually appended and consist of a detailed 12page letter from...

Merci, Madam la Presidente. Pursuant to rule 2.2(3), I move that committee continues sitting beyond the hour of daily adjournment to conclude the item under consideration. Mahsi, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can the Minister just let me in on that secret. What other section is that staff person found? Thanks.

Okay, thanks for that. Is part of that review going to look at expanding this function of integrated case management outside of Yellowknife? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So in the last Assembly, and I know the Minister was there, there was a new Corrections Act that was passed, and it was one of the probably few and best pieces of legislation that was developed in a collaborative fashion with standing committee. There was a number of significant changes made to it as a result of concerns that had been raised. And there was to be sort of new complaint processes put in place, new training that was going to be made mandatory for corrections officers, and a whole bunch of things.

There was to be advisory committees set up for each of the...

Thanks, Madam Chair. The rental office just, you know, there's actually been a decrease over the last couple years in their funding, and I just continue to get some complaints from constituents about sometimes well, both on the rent you know, the tenant side but also on the people that own residents or are leasing about how sometimes it takes quite a bit of time for a decision. So do we conduct any kind of regular surveys of wait lists or times for processing applications to the rental office in time, and how long it takes them to render a decision and so on? Thanks, Madam Chair.
