Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that the committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment at this time. Marsi cho, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll just finish off with a comment. There are jurisdictions. You look at other areas in Canada, like B.C., Alberta, you see some very cool country and western movies as of late, and you see Toronto. They really, really promote. Their governments invest money into their areas or to try to bring in foreign money. I think there should be some opportunity here, something that ITI and the Minister should consider at some point. I'll leave it at that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

If somebody is struggling in this area, when can they start to apply to a program such as this? Thank you.

Just kind of going down this line of questioning, if I was a struggling tour operator right now, in these line items, what programs are available? If you're a struggling tourism operator, what programs can I access within ITI? Thank you.

Thank you. That's good to know. 2032, hopefully, by then, some of our land claims agreements are settled upon. It would be nice to see down the road where we could see some of our own police forces come down the road, and we actually could start having those discussions. I thought I would just leave it at that. I have no further questions. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Looking at page 292, Territorial Police Services Agreement, can the Minister just describe what this line item is and how much of this line item is contributions from the federal government? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you for that response. My next question is: as in with any program, when you recruit, you are going to have some turnover and stuff, so I just want to get a sense of what the success is and what the retention rates are for this program. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess it was kind of misleading, the way I read it, but that's good. Thank you for that response. I don't have anything further at this time. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for that response. In this line item, too, it also mentions community justice committees and projects. Can the Minister just highlight some of the projects that are ongoing within this line item? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I was looking at page 276, community justice committees and projects. I used to deal with community justice committees way back in the day. My first question for the Minister is: how many community justice committees do we have in the NWT? Thank you.
