Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was asking I know they do the evaluation for a reason. There's a reason behind it, because the program is not working in many of our communities. But even like my colleague from Thebacha mentioned, that a lot of people lost their job as a result of the new of the equivalencies. So I'm just asking the Minister that once the evaluation is completed, what kind of options are they looking for in this for this, part of the equivalency like, what kind of options are they looking for within this for this CYCC positions, like, once it's completed? Like, what...

Thank you. Yeah, for the position, I see here because we're still on the environmental management and monitoring climate, and for the active position, there's nothing in Tlicho region on page 85, but North Slave has two, and headquarters they have 66. So why there is nothing allocated in Tlicho region?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we need to ensure the Indigenous government are working with the schools and the Government of the Northwest Territories to make CYCC positions as effective as possible. How is the Government of the Northwest Territories working with the Tlicho government and other Indigenous government to share best practices and information on supporting students in being drug free and directing them to support where they are available? Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if this government build more houses in communities and met the basic human needs, this evaluation of the CYCC would not be needed.

I'm going to say these questions anyway even though the Minister's going to say that it's under evaluation. So, Mr. Speaker, we need to ensure that CYCC staff understand the unique culture of our communities so that students can trust them and use them. Can the Minister explain how the CYCC staff become integrated into the communities so that there is trust between them and our students? Thank you.

I would think they are related to, you know, to those specifics. But it would be nice to have more of those positions transferred to the regions. Even like with here, there's five assistant deputy ministers on page 70, and there's a superintendent for North Slave. Is that position in Yellowknife, or is it where is this job located at? And there's you know, a lot of these positions here as identified -- there's five assistant deputy ministers. A lot of these in the small communities where they settled land claims, these positions will be beneficial to help our land claim groups. That's...

Yeah, North Slave consists of Yellowknife and Lutselk'e consists Fort Resolution, Dettah, N'dilo, and Tlicho regions. So what I would like to see is something specifically for Tlicho because we're not part of Yellowknife, and I keep saying that. So I just wanted to know if in the future, you know I know people do change all the time, so I would like to see more position transferred to Tlicho region. Thank you.

Yeah, those are important positions for our community because for in our regions, we have a lot of contaminated sites. We have a lot of issues. So it would be nice if we can have will the Minister commit to transferring these two positions to Tlicho region? Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah, for the position, I see here because we're still on the environmental management and monitoring climate, and for the active position, there's nothing in Tlicho region on page 85, but North Slave has two, and headquarters they have 66. So why there is nothing allocated in Tlicho region?

Thank you. Well, I mean, you know, it's it's doable; we can do something about that. So, yeah, that's I was really concerned about that because contaminated sites, people are still talking about. Still talking about the effects of the Rayrock that's in our backyard. Now there's other there the Fortune Minerals too as well, so. And with the diamond mine expected to close, so this funding, it would be nice if there were more positions in the small communities who are impacted by the who are affected more by the contaminated sites. So that's what I would like to see is that more be invested...
