Thank you, Mr. Chair. I admit it seems like a long-term question, but I have to ask: if the construction is completed for Yellowknife, would those portables possibly be available for the outlying communities, like Fort Providence? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I just want to clarify the designated $1.5 million for the portables. Is that for two portables? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

A regulatory framework for licensed establishments (e.g. "cannabis cafes" or "vape lounges") is outside the scope of the bill. This means that we could not amend the bill to explicitly allow such establishments immediately upon legalization. Still, we recognize that this subject is important to many residents.

Many witnesses, including the Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce, spoke of the economic benefits potentially associated with such establishments. Others, such as the Canadian Cancer Society, raised health concerns, believing "'cannabis cafes would be untenable if any...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If the Minister is stating that the contract was just awarded, what would be the anticipated completion date of the project? Thank you.

No further questions.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I am just trying to understand. There are four portables. Likely they will be, as the Minister stated, available by September 2019.

There will be a construction period. I am just trying to understand: once construction is complete, will there be an effort to demobilize the portables? Is there a process in place of, perhaps, ECE passing it on to Public Works and Services, and would they, at some point, be reallocated to another construction site? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the mover, my colleague Mr. Vanthuyne, for leading this initiative. I believe in this legislation that will ban smoking in vehicles with minors. You know, the motion, the intended spirit and purpose of the motion is to protect the well-being and health of children, and that is what the motion tries to set forth. This government in the past has put in place legislation on banning handheld devices in vehicles and also seatbelt laws, so, similarly, this is another step that this government could take forward in ensuring that children don...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No further questions.

Masi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, for most, Enterprise is a drive-through community. People stop to take advantage of the facilities and its essential service provided by the communities, such as the gas station. Located at the crossroads of NWT Highways No. 1 and No. 2, Enterprise is an important connector to southern Canada.

While Enterprise's location on the NWT highway system generates some economic activity for the community, residents are concerned about the safety of pedestrians, especially children, around the community. My constituents have expressed concerns over the fact that, in the...

I think what we all could sense is that there needs to be some action taken. When can the residents of Enterprise expect or see safety improvements to the intersection that runs through the community of Enterprise?
