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. So, Madam Chair, where do the like, is it out of this pocket of money then that dollars, for example, for support with housing people on release would come from? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am going to wait for questions on additional key activities. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. No. And I appreciate the direction providing communities with the autonomy of being able to decide what their own program looks like and what is best in a communitydriven manner. I agree with that and appreciate that and I, you know, look forward to hearing some success stories from these programs. My concern is not about how the department is running the program. My concern is strictly in regards to who has access to that program. And, you know, running a program like this in five communities out of 33 and then having $17,000 left over for 28 additional...

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. And my next question is this work and this position best placed within the Department of Justice, or would it make more sense for this position and this work to be placed within EIA if it is if the intent is an allofgovernment approach that needs some teeth in order to move people in that direction? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So at the end of this fiscal year, we'll go from five programs being supported to three programs being supported. Is the intent to open the funding back up then to two more communities, or what is the intent for the next fiscal year for the men's healing fund? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, in regards to the work that needs to be done to do this soul searching on this plan that might not be used, is there a staff member dedicated to this work, or staff members dedicated to this work, and if so, where within the main estimates do they live? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Committee understands that Northerners have little choice about imposing a carbon tax:

If the GNWT does not impose the tax, the federal government will.

But the madeintheNWT approach does give us a choice on how to spend revenues from the carbon tax. Unfortunately, the government’s chosen approach leaves some households, most businesses, and all community governments, Indigenous governments, and NGOs worse off or at least treated very differently from the large emitters.

In November, Finance released a projection of carbon tax revenues and a breakdown of the associated...
