Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am wondering if the Minister knows the rate of people, on a monthly basis, who are travelling to Edmonton who end up having to self-isolate in Alberta because they were on a COVID border or they have symptoms coming home. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am going to stick with medical travel on the heels of my colleague from Great Slave. One of the things we've been hearing lately is that, because a lot of our medical travel people travel to Alberta, that Alberta is actually saying to people that they must isolate in Alberta before returning to Yellowknife where they then isolate again in some cases. I'm wondering if the Minister can confirm if that is still happening for medical travel patients or not? Thank you.

I appreciate the Minister's due diligence in having already set up that meeting and look forward to hopefully having a conversation about that with the Minister. In regard to the people who the Minister was able to converse with who were impressed by the timelines, perhaps the Minister can encourage them to participate in the survey next year and we can improve some results for the Northwest Territories in that report card. One of the things that was highlighted within that report card was that the GNWT wasn't even meeting their own timelines within the regulatory process. I'm wondering if the...

No, I'm happy. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The people who I serve or many of the people who I serve in Kam Lake generate their income either directly or indirectly from the mining industry, so my first question today I know is very important for them. Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment can speak to how the GNWT is working to increase mining exploration and development across the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Just a couple of questions. Last year, when we did this exercise, we touched briefly on the topic of tracking carryovers, and I'm wondering: typically, on an annual basis, what percent of Infrastructure's entire budget becomes a carryover to the next year? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I think it will be a really quick question, perhaps. I know that we asked a lot of questions last week about the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority and the deficit that's in it. One of the things that I struggle with, and I think it was evident in the fact that I kept asking all last week, where different items from NTHSSA fell within that budget. I know that it's fairly new that we have a conglomerate of health authorities. I am wondering if there is any plan moving forward for the health authority to actually break out some of this...

Thanks very much, Madam Chair. One of the figures that was given earlier was $250 for return airfare. I am wondering what portion of that or what portion of the amount above and beyond that is covered by NIHB. Thank you.

No, I appreciate that. I just want to clarify something that the Minister just said. If somebody is vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine, does that have an effect on their need to self-isolate for medical travel or any other reason? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. No. I appreciate that, and I appreciate the commitment of returning with information as to whether or not we are covering that or if that's being covered by Alberta because I think it will add a significant cost to our medical travel, especially if people are then coming home and then having to then self-isolate again. That would mean a month of self-isolating for people after a medical travel appointment. Is the department of health offering any kind of financial assistance to people who end up in a situation where they are having to self-isolate for a month...
