Thank you, Madam Chair. I see that there's $955,000 here for debt repayment. I believe can I just get an explanation of what that is? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yeah, I think there's a lot of work that could be done in opening up the Liquor Act, and I think one of the big areas that I would like to see is delegating some more powers to communities and I think they could set things such as store hours, whether they want a store, whether they want to set limits on how much alcohol can be sold, how alcohol can be served at festivals and events, how licences can be obtained. There's actually I'd basically like to give the whole act to communities, Mr. Speaker. But I'm wondering if in the planned changes that we are hoping to get...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And then I also in this kind of realm of who does what, there's a capital plan coming forward and this year's this budget's capital plan doesn't build any new houses, but it does quite a bit of major retrofits. My understanding is that major retrofits is the decided by headquarters in their capital plan, and then minor maintenance would be the responsible of the LHO. Can I just get a understanding of when maintenance belongs to an LHO verse would have to go through the headquarters capital planning process. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my statement today, I spoke about a number of possible changes to the Liquor Act. I guess one of my hopes is that in the Liquor Act, we will revisit the current liquor commission monopoly and perhaps looking at options of private stores or allowing beer and wine in grocery stores.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, I'll try another time to get a numerical value there.

I guess my other question is I expressed earlier some concern about what LHOs do verse well, the Housing Corporation, and I think I would express those same concerns with what district sorry, what I don't know what to call it offices do verse LHOs. I get at some point, we want to have people in the community who are making decisions about housing and we want to have jobs in communities. But, you know, in Yellowknife, for example, we have a North Slave office, and we have a headquarters office, and then we have...

Yeah, and I know the Housing Corp traditionally, and I understand, had a preference for stickbuilt. We're seeing a lot more modular units because, you know, with stickbuilt, you can kind of train apprentices and train more people. But can we get some updated figures on, you know, what it costs to deliver modular housing versus stickbuilt housing? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm looking at the page 390 lease commitments, $14 million. Can I just get clarification whether the Housing Corporation in order to enter into leases has to go to FMB for approval and whether this $14 million commitment applies to our debt line? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I you know, to one extent, I wish that the Power Corp and the GNWT had the had the debt that the Housing Corp had, but I just it seems a little odd that the Housing Corp seems to be playing a different completely different game than everyone else when it comes to debt.

I'm curious, you know, if we, for example, were to look at Yellowknife, where we are spending a lot of money on leasing and we could go to a bank and borrow the money to build public housing, I think it's been made quite clear multiple times we don't actually have the capital on hand to build...

Thank you, Madam Chair. My other question is does the Housing Corporation have any other debt, or do we take on debt? Is that something that I'll start there. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to ask two questions here I think for efficiency. I see that the 2021 actuals were $355,000. Can I just get an explanation of why there is a $600,000 increase in the amount we're paying CMHC and what the total amount that we owe CMHC is? Thank you.
