Considering the third party revenues that came into this newly acquired division, did we make any money?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my question is directed to the Minister of DOI, acknowledging the statements made earlier. My first question is directed to the Marine Transportation Services department. How has MTS addressed the environmental issues within the properties purchased? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
This is more of a comment. I look forward to the upcoming business plans you are scheduled for November so I will reserve that fourth question at that time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thanks to the Minister for that question of clarity on the disposal action plan. My next question is, did MTS generate any revenue other than through the community resupply?
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I wear the orange shirt in recognition of residential school, a traumatized history for the First Peoples of Canada.

Thank you for the response. Would the Minister, through the regional office, make trips of campaign informational sessions, open houses, to the four surrounding communities in the Sahtu, particular Fort Good Hope, Deline, Tulita, and Colville?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm encouraged by the recent consultation on the new legislation for the first ever Mineral Resources Act. This is valuable information that needs to be shared and is within the strategy, the NWT Geological Survey Strategic Plan, released this past March, Mr. Speaker. My question is: what awareness of this strategy has the department done since? Mahsi.
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Today I wear my traditional vest in recognition of the NWT Arts Week. The residents of the Northwest Territories possess and produce world-wide unique art. Among the unique inventory is our art of traditional knowledge captured in our elders. The NWT Geological Survey Strategy is one of many strategic plans developed by this government.
