Marsi cho. I'm looking forward to that email. I would like to share that with everybody. Are there any other commitments that we can hear from the Minister in terms of when we move into the next phase in terms of hospital policies? What kind of things can we expect to hear, something high-level, just something that we know what to expect going forward?

Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Today I would like to congratulate the Lutsel K'e Dene First Nation for being selected to win a United Nations award known as the Equator Prize. Mr. Speaker, for those who don't know, the Equator Prize is an award which recognizes outstanding community efforts to reduce poverty through the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.

Lutsel K'e won this award for their tireless work on the establishment of Thaidene Nene, or Land of the Ancestors, National Park Reserve. The area of the park reserve is 26,000 square kilometres, encompassing areas of Boreal forest and...

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for that response. The muddied waters are a little more clear, now. It's always good to get some clarification on this, because this is probably one of the larger allocations of this ask, so it's important that we kind of get that clarification.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for that response. Just so I don't get ahead of myself, am I allowed to speak to the page ahead? Can I do this? No. I just want to make sure. Other than that, that's the only number that I saw that was out, so I have nothing further.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. Committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 30-19(2), Main Estimates 2020-2021 and specifically the departments of Justice; Environment and Natural Resources; Industry, Tourism and Investment; Infrastructure; Lands; Municipal and Community Affairs; and the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. Marsi cho, Madam Chair.

Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Just going back to my Member's statement, the community came together during COVID, and a lot of communities in my constituency, they worked together. They did do work to protect themselves because of the highway going in. Just to give you a little context for the House, on a letter dated May 25, 2020, from Madam Premier's office to my office, there was a request made for funding to fund the checkpoint going into Deninu Kue. They did take the steps to protect themselves. In my humble opinion, that's the GNWT's job. They should be coming in and protecting our small...
