Thank you, Mr. Chair. I cede the rest of my time.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And so I guess to get a little granular -- and I apologize if this is -- this is just sort of spitballing, but is there a contemplation, then, that programs that undergo evaluation will be noted in future submissions to FMB? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Since we are under the MBS category, I was curious to ask the Minister how MBS is going to support and action a macro economic policy and if there's any anticipated costs or if this is a role mainly for departments to take on. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, I'm wondering then, too I understand that there's work being done to get that data here in Yellowknife. There's work that is anticipated to get that data here in Inuvik this year. But with our smaller communities, our regional centres, I am curious is the Deputy Premier or the Premier, she's speaking for today, planning to bring these conversations forward with Council of Leaders to get that data from Indigenous governments? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Quite very grateful for that, Mr. Chair. Thank you. So can you explain how taking on a liability one year and the cost of that liability goes from a big cost to a not very big cost? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, last week the Premier tabled a document that was a return to an oral question that expands on the conversation question that I had with the Deputy Premier last October. The commitment was to provide a more detailed timeline on the work towards establishing functional zero goals for all communities. I got a reply but limited information on timelines.

So, Mr. Speaker, can the Deputy Premier tell me if we are on track to meet the homelessness strategy's goal outcome of goals set for each community to reduce homelessness by their own target of the end of 2025...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, I can appreciate that. I just -- I guess I'll stop there. I'm just -- I'm struggling with the concept of knowing that the costs were that much in 2023-2024 and then skewing back down. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me just as someone who sees, like, actual costs in my own budget. I realize a public government is different than a human being but it -- yeah, I'm still struggling with this. I don't know if the Minister has anything further to add.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your Standing Committee on Procedure and Privileges is pleased to provide its Report on the Chief Electoral Officer's Report on the Administration of the 2023 Territorial General Election and commends it to the House.

In accordance with subsection 266(2) of the Elections and Plebiscites Act, the chief electoral officer is required to submit a report on the administration of election-related activities within six months following a territorial general election. This report includes any issues the CEO deems important for the Legislative Assembly and offers...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So just to clarify, the numbers that I have before me in 2024-2025 for main and revised estimates are no longer accurate? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And pardon me, I have a little cough drop in my mouth.

I want to -- he's not here at the moment, but I want to thank the Member from Yellowknife Centre for raising all those questions just now. I would also like to talk about the GNWT medical travel assistance. I was hoping that finance could provide more details about the $7.4 million increase, especially noting that last year's was a reduction from the 2023-2024 of approximately the same amount. So I'm just wondering why it's going back up. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
