Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess the first question is with respect to Arctic Energy Alliance, and I see that the funds there have been pretty stagnant there over the years. And I was just for new initiatives, one thing that somebody brought to my attention, I guess with the rising price of fuel for vehicles and that, is and which isn't on the list, is motorized bicycles which allow you to you know, to ride the bike and then coast for a while. Is there any chance of something like that being added? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to talk about the Petroleum Products Revolving Fund. And I understand that, you know, we buy some of our fuel; it comes down from through Alberta and down the Valley, and then we I think we pick some up on the Pacific Rim.

I'm just wondering I guess, you know, what's what is I guess what justifies bringing fuel over over from the Pacific Rim. I suspect that of course we're saving money. That's probably the bottom line. But is there anything else that pertains to it? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, will the Minister confirm if her department has considered the need for transitional housing supports to those clients returning home after receiving treatment in the South? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to talk about I guess airport operations, and this may be capital too; I'm not sure. But upgrading runway lights, and I know there's you know, there's an issue up there and we've been going through and upgrading, I suspect to LED or something like that. And I'd just like to know how that's going and if we're looking at doing all the runways, even in the small communities? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister of Health confirm what is the purpose and cost attributed to substance abuse and what does it comprise of? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, the other thing about the ferries too is, like, they are all aged and, you know, and to keep them up to I suspect Transport Canada regulations is probably fairly cumbersome and I suspect costly, especially if you're using, you know, southern firms to do the work.

So, you know, is there any plans in the future, I guess, to either build a new ferry or do any really major retrofits? My understanding is that maybe we continue to do retrofits as I when I go through the budget I see that. So I'm just wondering, you know, kind of where we're at with that as they kind of...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when questioned last week about treatment centres for the NWT, the Minister of Health stated: "If there is a need for more bricks and mortars healing, then that needs to be a priority of this Assembly and it's something that we need to talk about together."

Mr. Speaker, one of this government’s mandate items is to: "Increase the number and variety of culturallyrespectful communitybased mental health and addictions programs, including aftercare."

Mr. Speaker, this mandate item directs government to consider communitybased mental health and addictions programs...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to change up here a bit, and I want to talk about the or the ferries. And I'd like to talk I guess about specifically the Abraham Francis. My understanding is that vessel is only rated at 40,000 kg so this limits the number of loads the weight and loads coming across whereas you got the Louis Cardinal, which is closer to Inuvik, and it's rated for 64,000 kg.

So my understanding is that is it possible my understanding it is possible to lengthen the Abraham Francis which would then allow you to increase that to 64 which will make it a lot better to a lot...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess I'll just have to I guess work with my colleague from the Deh Cho and we'll have to push that, and also colleague from Thebacha. Can't forget her. And try and get some of the Metis organizations to maybe access some of that funding. Thank you. That's just a comment. Thank you. That's all.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I thought I saw somewhere on there that with respect to repairs to the equipment that was purchased from NTCL that there was that was part of the reason for the losses? Can you speak to that a bit. Because there is you know, there was a lot of equipment that was purchased, and I'm just not sure how you know, how much of it has actually been used for operations. Thank you, Madam Chair.
