Thanks, Madam Chair. You're just speeding through all this stuff so I commend you for that. But I think this is the section of the EIA budget, if I've got it correctly, where negotiations funding is found. And I'm just wondering what is happening with negotiations. You know, in the last Assembly, the Premier when he was a candidate for Premier, he promised to have all the negotiations completed at the end of four years oh, I'm in the wrong section. There's one more. I'll wait, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I don't have anything further on this activity. Thank you.

Thanks. Well, I want to thank the Premier for rhyming those off all so quickly. But let's just this is a free advertisement so if your community was not named, you want a GSO, the Premier's happy to entertain the proposal. So, there. So I do want to talk about the GSO function or that sort of service in the context of the regional centres and even in Yellowknife. We actually do have that in Yellowknife for the Francophone community and, as I understand it, it's actually quite well used and provides good service. So, you know, we talked in the past about is there an opportunity to partner with...

Thanks, Madam Chair. I think there was some onetime CanNor funding or something that was flowed through to the City of Yellowknife in previous years, or am I getting confused? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Are we adding any to the network in this budget? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So the NWT Tourism doesn't actually show funding for NWT Tourism here, unless I'm misreading this, but is that the tourism industry contribution? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Madam la Presidente. I move that the chair rise and report progress.

Thanks. That's all I have on this one. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 81319(2), 20232024 Main Estimates, Industry, Tourism and Investment and Executive and Indigenous Affairs. Mahsi, Madam Chair.

Okay, thanks, Madam Chair. I guess, I don't think I can ask any more questions. I'm going to make a statement. I think the Status of Women should have had an increase of forced growth like the other NGOs. Maybe that's clear because that's not what the numbers here show on the page and I think we need to be more consistent in how we treat NGOs across the board in our forced growth increases. And that's all I have. Thanks, Madam Chair.
