Mahsi, Madam Chair. Yeah, I was hoping to get it bumped up somewhere but wishful thinking, I guess.

The other one too, I recall ITI renovated a building in the community to have a micro fish plant. I'm wondering what was what is the status of that, and are there any future plans? What was happening there? Mahsi.

Mahsi cho.

Back to that Robertson dock rehabilitation, did somebody have to apply for it? Like, the City of Yellowknife? Or was it just an engineering firm that said, hey, here's a dock, rehabilitate? Mahsi.

Mahsi. So to trigger that whole process, the community would have to request through ITI for the boat and the ramp or the dock and the ramps?

Mahsi, Madam Chair, and mahsi to the Minister for that. I'm just wondering why you know, if our community I was asking for a process of how we could get that in. Now you only mentioned one part of it there, getting DFO involved. What's DFO's involvement in anything like this? Mahsi.

Mahsi, Madam Chair. Yeah, I was on the committee that travelled with social development on this Education Act. Although it was specific to several items that would give some leverage to the department in accessing school records from the communities, we did hear, as my colleague from the MLA for the Great Slave spoke passionately about here, she pretty much captured everything that was out there. But there was other ones that I heard from the BeauDel, you know, education council members up there that they're saying well, all these changes we're looking at making on this first round, you know...

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, Saturday, is a federallyrecognized statutory holiday in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This holiday falls on September 30th each year. This day honours residential school survivors across Canada and the thousands of children who never made it home.

The federal government contracted the Catholic and Anglican churches to operate the residential facilities in order to assimilate Indigenous peoples into the white man's culture. One of the ways was to separate Indigenous peoples from their families and homes. Our people were...

Mahsi, Madam Chair. Has the department hired engineers, or they're using inhouse engineers and have they been to the community yet? What's the expected timeline for this type of work here? Mahsi.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I note that the Deh Cho bridge repair work is not listed in here. It's I think it's probably repair work but that's the one dealing with the cable failure. I'm just wondering if it's a bigger it's a bigger task than originally expected, if they have to bring in an expert from the United Kingdom, and what's the projected estimated cost to repair that project and what's the timeline? Mahsi.

Mahsi, Madam Chair. Yeah, I just thought maybe ITI was on top of everything that they do, especially having to do with fisheries as they're promoting fisheries around the plant around the lake I should say, so. Because I'm wondering, you know, people start initiatives and then it just dies, you know, just like on the order papers or something. So I thought ITI would be more, you know because I'll be asking those questions. I guess I'll be sending an email so that we keep everybody accountable. We're spending public dollars and, you know, we should know what's happening with it, and the...
