Marsi cho, Madam Chair. I move that consideration of Tabled Document 137-19(2), Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 1, 2020-2021, be now concluded and that Tabled Document 137-19(2) be reported and recommended as ready for further consideration in formal session through the form of an appropriation bill. Marsi cho, Madam Chair.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. The Member for Kam Lake already asked some of the questions I had for the mental health, so thank you for that. I do know that, for mental health and wellness, it's so important for these monies to be allocated the way they are. We still have lots of people who are suffering. We have kids helpline. We have residential helplines and stuff. I'm just wondering right now how this is going to be allocated in terms of are there going to be helplines? Is this going to go towards helplines in the North?

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. I meant to say, Minister of Finance. My apologies. Thank you for the response, by the way. How does the pandemic affect these numbers? Are there going to be changes with this? Are there going to be changes in spending for this fiscal year? Marsi cho.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. Yes. For my riding, I'd like to have a little breakdown for the Taltson, just to see how that is being allocated. Marsi cho.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. Committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 130-19(2), Supplementary Estimates, No. 2.

Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. I know, a lot of the House here, a lot of calls that we get are for hospitals, health and social services, medical travel. I have a couple questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services. With talks that we're going to the next phase here now, I know that we have a lot of medical travel requests and we have a lot of hospital visits. My first question for the Minister is: is there going to be talk of any policy changes in terms of visits, number of visitors you're allowed? One of the main questions I'm asking is for hospital visits for patients. Marsi cho.

Mahsi cho. I move that the chair rise and report progress.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am still trying to wrap my head around this a little better. Are there other buildings around? When I hear base buildings, I hear, like, some extra adjacent buildings are going to be on that lot that are going to be built. Is that what I'm hearing? Thank you.

Mahsi. I'm just thinking, I have a quick question about the Stanton legacy building. They are split up into two different line items for just under $9.8 million and another one for just under $6.2 million. Why are they split up the way they are? It seems like they are both going towards the same building, but it's just south of $16 million. We are just going to sign off, and I would like to know a little bit more about it. Why were the numbers split up into the two items? Marsi cho.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. Just taking a quick look at that line item, Northwest Territories Power Corporation hydro upgrades, it says, various, $4.9 million. Can I get the Minister responsible just to give us a quick breakdown on which of these various projects are they referring to in this line item? Marsi cho.
