Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would have liked to have heard a yes, not a I want a yes, just a passionate yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

My last question for the Minister is can the Minister clearly confirm whether our 18-kiloton reduction goal is attainable with only 20 percent renewables in diesel communities? Thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I know that we don't have integrated service delivery. But it seems to me that people being released from our correction centres would be people who would be identified at being at high risk of falling through the cracks of the system, falling into chronic homelessness, and needing an extra hand and a case manager to actually help them through this. And I know that the Minister has said that there are case managers who can do this work, but I don't think these case managers are actually being provided the tools to properly do this work. And so I think...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the report recommended that within one or two years the GNWT reduce the credit for renewable generation and allow utilities to increase their fixed charges by 5 percent. Is the GNWT considering reducing the credit for renewable generation and will the GNWT consult before making such changes? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Is there a funding pot that supports people who are leaving incarceration from our other correctional facilities, for example, North Slave correctional centre here in Yellowknife? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, open the GNWT's 2030 Energy Strategy and you find multiple suggested solutions to help reduce the territory's greenhouse gas emissions. Small wind turbines, the Inuvik wind turbine, liquified natural gas, solar, mini hydro, and transmission lines to connect grids, come together in this plan with promises of 25 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving our both energy solutions doesn't only get us closer to our GHG goals, it supports our collective economic goals through potential critical mineral industry expansion and our individual goal of...

I can be way more specific. Thank you, Madam Chair. How much does it actually cost to reintegrate offenders into our communities in the Northwest Territories, because I'm not sure that $179,000 actually accomplishes what we're setting out to accomplish. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Just while we're talking about the Status of Women, I believe it was last summer there was engagement done on the Status of Women Act. And I'm wondering what the expected timeline is on that act and if we'll see a bill in the life of this Assembly? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker I'm talking too fast even for myself.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your committee would like to report on its consideration of Bill 65, Builders’ Lien Act.

Bill 65 received second reading in the Legislative Assembly on November 3rd, 2022 and was referred to the Standing Committee on Social Development for review.

On January 18th, 2023, the committee held a public hearing with the Minister of Justice and expressed concerns with the bill, including the level of consultation completed prior to introduction of the bill. Following the public hearing, the Government House Leader requested that committee seek an extension on the...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, based on the high demand of child care in some communities, I'm wondering if this fund, if it is able to provide full funding to some programs based on what is left in the pot or if the department of education has a maximum of what they're prepared to provide to child care centres? Thank you.
