Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And in a similar vein, the mandate committed to signing two agreements in the realm of treaty land or selfgovernment implementation. I'm just wondering if the Premier can update this House whether she still believes we can sign two agreements in the life of this Assembly. Thank you

Thank you, Madam Chair. I see that there's, under the technology service centre, there's a replacement of our capital service network and storage infrastructure. Would someone be able to tell me the estimated cost of that replacement?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Premier. The mandate commits us to an UNDRIP action plan for summer 2022. Obviously, summer has passed, and we have not seen that action plan. So when can we expect to see that, Mr. Speaker?

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to repeat myself a couple times but, you know, what kind of happens when we do capital estimates is we have a confidential briefing note that gives you a bit of an update, and then we ask question like such as can someone give us an update of what's going on here. And I get there's a debate about the total amount and procurement; I have made that clear. But could the Department of Infrastructure perhaps look at making some sort of public kind of updating that goes with each capital plan. I just find it frustrating that I have to ask what's going on with...

Thank you. Is it possible to make an estimated cost for the Whati transmission line public yet? Thank you.

Can someone just give me an update on the Fort Simpson LNG plant and whether that is on time and on budget for 20252026 completion?

I don't think I've ever got to go first. I like this Speaker.
Madam Speaker, I was at the city council for Yellowknife election forums, and I kept having déjà vu, because it sounded like the exact same forum I was at in 2018. Everyone there was talking about the bulk land transfer to the GNWT to the City of Yellowknife. And I thought to myself, wait, didn't we solve this problem? Isn't there a clearer process in place for transferring land? Well, I guess not, Madam Speaker. I'll have questions for the Minister of Lands/MACA on why we can't give those poor councillors something else to talk...

No further questions. Thank you

Yeah, thank you. You know, I sorry, this is perhaps me not understanding how exactly capital estimates working. But, you know, we have $41 million for the fiscal we're presently in. I assume we are trying to spend $41 million in this fiscal. But I don't understand how we get to that number if some of it is demolition, and there's risk planning. Is there some other major project here? Or I guess also what I'm asking is are we going to spend $41 million this year on longterm care, or is that number just completely unrealistic at this point? Thank you

Yeah, thank you. You know, when you spent a couple hundred thousand dollars on design for a building in one location and then the whole other location goes up, you know, it risks hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money being spent on nothing. But I guess can we just get an update on when we expect a final decision to be made on location? Thank you.
