Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess that's where the confusion lies, is that, you know, we put the onus on the Office of the Fire Marshal and legislation there. And so, you know, when I look at what the fire marshal does, I thought it was kind of just related to, you know, anything that to do with fire aspect of it. But it goes on it goes on to into getting into the structural design and all that as well, which people are which I know which which companies are kind of having a problem with because what's happening is that, you know, architects, structural engineers who are doing designs, you...

Thank you, Madam Chair. And communicating I guess these changes to the, you know, to businesses and people that may be interested in the trades or occupations, how is that achieved? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I'd ask the Minister if the program is actually fully subscribed? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just looking at the trades and occupation wage subsidy, can the Minister I guess give me a breakdown, roughly, between the trades and I guess occupations, I suspect it's two different things, what the breakdown would be? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I understand that the passengers were looking at going on expedition and given that, I just ask if the Minister's department was contacted by either the group or by any federal government agencies confirming that the plane had Russian nationals on it? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I questioned the Minister responsible for Infrastructure on rumors that a Russianregistered aircraft landed at the Yellowknife Airport. Since then, I've had people reach out to me, not only from the NWT but from across around Canada as well, some of whom were just looking for additional information, clarification, while others provided suggestions on what should be done with the aircraft and occupants, most of which I will not repeat here.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister clarify, in fact, whether or not the aircraft was Russianregistered and where...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Line item literacy funding, one thing I, you know, that I noticed, you know, being in business is that you do get a number of people that, you know, that can't read or write that well. And one thing we tried to do was, you know, to provide them with a few hours a day or a week to, you know, and pay them for that, to and to take some courses or have somebody tutor them. And there's always a cost associated with that. Is that something the department provides funding for above the wage and occupation subsidies? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Is any of this communicated to the schools? Because, you know, we are talking about trades, I guess to say specifically, just to give an option to people instead of going postsecondary route? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So, you know, since you opened it up, what's the uptake been with the third and fourth and women in trade? Do you have any numbers or anything that you can provide us with? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. It just says trades and occupation so I expect that there's two different parts to it; is that correct? And if there is, what would the breakdown be or what would be the difference between trades and occupations? Thank you.
