Thank you, Mr. Chair. Could the Minister please delineate those two amounts for those two years of 2022 being flood and 2023 being fire? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Speaker, I thought today was supposed to be fun. I can recognize that I might be coming across requesting a level of detail. I just want to have a general picture, Mr. Speaker, of how long implementation may occur in maybe months or years, Mr. Speaker; is that a possibility? Thank you.

I'll wait for the briefing. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I sure hope we can have fun for the next three and a half years.

Mr. Speaker, I understand it's technically a difficult ask. I understand that the Yukon had a bit of a difficult job implementing as well. So what I guess I would ask the Minister today is if he can't commit to full implementation happening in the 20th, can he at least look into what steps need to happen to get us there, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That's a hard act to follow but I'm going to try, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring back the animus, the spirit, nay the gumption of a previous MLA Mr. Rylund Johnson. Though I'm delighted to work with the current MLA for Yellowknife North, I'm a bit sad the previous MLA didn't stick around so we could be coworkers once more, Mr. Speaker. And what better topic to bring forward the ghost of Yellowknife North's past than the evergreen topic of daylight savings, Mr. Speaker. The DMV opening on Saturdays will have to wait for another day.

Let's focus on the...

I'm sorry to ask the Minister this; I can probably look it up quickly as well. But could she please tell me how much prior to the sup in 20232024 we have spent on facilitybased addictions treatment on top of this $1.843 million?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you to the Minister for the compliment that I'm speedy.

Will the Minister of ECE commit to providing Pathfinder services as and when needed by small or medium arts organizations to reduce barriers to access for our northern artists to funding? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there's a lot of sweat equity that needs to be put in to apply for federal funding. The requirements and forms can be quite complex. Can the Minister of ECE explain how her department envisions helping organizations to grow capacity to take advantage of ECE's new vision for small and medium arts organizations? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Not a question but a comment. It is my understanding, for further clarity on a political matter of us discussing our own salaries, that sorry, one of the sections is actually tied to the collective agreement. The northern allowance section copies what the public servants receive depending on their community of origin or community of work, and it is my understanding that in the past MLAs have made the decision collectively to restrain their income based on the fact that public servants were not given percentage increases. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
