Thank you, Mr. Chair. My colleague,

Yellowknife North, asked the question of how many contracts there for out of the territory treatment services. If I can get that information as well. That was my only question there. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wanted to ask the Minister the questions on the crossborder water monitoring. I see later on in the department requests that we're going to be dealing with the marine training society or the Marine Transportation Services on additional funds. This is a result of the low waters that we're probably running into a deficit with that MTS service.

Is there discussions as part of the bilateral on the monitoring of the Mackenzie River Water Basin and making it known during these bilateral discussions that your management of the water levels, particularly in the site C Bennett...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for that reply.

Carrying on to my next question, are any pilot programs to develop remediation labour force or business capacity planned to the principles of Nortran? Mahsi.

ITI. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, developing remediation skills in the Sahtu, Mr. Speaker, it has been documented that Northerners have not fully benefitted from environmental cleanup and remediation sites across the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We all know there's an increasing drug crisis out in our communities and therefore requires more and more policing services and collaboration with concerned citizens and leaders. Is there further funding coming as you had mentioned there's four positions. Is there more funding in the area of joint Indigenous governments collaboration for policing strategy developments? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thanks to my colleague there from Yellowknife North for asking the same questions here. I'm living downstream so I'm a little bit behind. So I'm glad my colleague's raising the same questions. I am concern is very important to the sailing seasons coming up. And I'm extremely glad that there's a multiyear program in place here to continue dredging and restoration of the harbour. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. No further questions there, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My last question thank you to the opportunity has the department explored partnerships with training institutions like MTS, Mine Training Society, Aurora College, or the Olds College in Olds, Alberta, to provide labour force development in the Sahtu? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
