Thank you, Mr. Chair. What this clause is proposing is it is presently illegal to sell liquor on polling day in the NWT according to this act. And in our infinite wisdom we're going to make it illegal to also sell cannabis on polling day. So instead of having one archaic and outdated law, we're going to have two. What was the point of legalizing cannabis if we're just going to close some random licensed premises? I can guarantee almost no one knows. I don't even know why we would be doing this. I think this is an absolutely ridiculous suggestion, and I am not in favour of it. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I actually oh 29, sorry.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I understand that there was just recently a customer service review done at the Department of Motor Vehicles, and this kind of has led to us keeping the appointmentstyle model. But I'm curious whether there is a plan to move any more services online for the DMV? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would just like to wish everyone a Happy Halloween, including all the children going out trick or treating tonight, and ask everyone stay safe. And Madam Speaker, you know, no one's going to poison your Canadian or put any razor blades in it that's all nonsense but you know what people should watch out for? That's cars, Madam Speaker, because today is the most deadly day for pedestrians and children are three times more likely to get hit by a car today than any other day. So I just remind all drivers to slow down the roads are slippery, watch out for children, do...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Finance responsible for the procurement review.

When you look at schedule 3 of the Business Incentive Policy, there's a number of southern companies that have been grandfathered. I think it would be fair to frame this list as a number of monopolies that we seem to be dedicated to building up. There are three versions of Northwestel; there's Bellanca Developments; three versions of Northern Properties, all of which have been bought and sold many times; three versions of Northmart; and, 13 specified Northern Stores, some of which don...

Yeah, thank you, Madam Speaker. I'm going to try this a different way. I know it's possible, that's why I'm asking. Will the Premier change the names? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd like to recognize Ms. Kya Wickens, a Yellowknife North page. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I give notice that on Tuesday, November 1st, 2022, I will present Bill 61, An Act to Amend the Ombud Act, to be read for the first time. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Frequency of inyear reporting refers to publishing information on government revenues, spending, and debt financing over the course of the fiscal year and comparing these results with the budget. Frequent and regular inyear fiscal reports are important because they provide information on progress implementing the budget. This helps inform budget preparation for the next year. Inyear reports also require government to create and enforce procedures to collect and consolidate data across public sector entities.

The GNWT does not appear to meet the "basic" level on this...

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. You know, I recognize that but what we've done is actually we've specified a list, and on it are a number of companies that don't exist anymore. A number of numbered companies, I have no idea what those numbered corporations are. It's really I get there's a way to define the policy and whether or not Walmart falls in it is up to, you know, probably the way we write the policy and the business incentive review committee. I don't understand why we are keeping this schedule of a list of companies, many of which are outdated and many of which have no absolutely are...
