Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister for that. I recognize that, and I'm glad that she used accessibility in her answer. As she recalls from yesterday, I did ask the Minister of Justice about an accessible washroom and, as the Minister's well aware, the folks behind the parent advisory committee for Sir John are seeking an accessible and gender-neutral washroom in that school. Could the Minister speak to how she is prioritizing that requested project that is an accessibility project. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And arguably, when we talk about all of our assets that put out greenhouse gases, be they vehicles or buildings or whatever the case may be, I guess how one boat in Inuvik is not going to break the GHG bank, so to speak, but to see that there's no -- no impact of just any asset, I don't know if I agree with that. Maybe the Minister could speak to that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, here on the education item, there is a high school boiler replacement for Ecole Sir John Franklin, and I was -- I've been talking to the Minister, and I think most Yellowknife MLAs are quite aware of all of the challenges that Yellowknife schools are facing. So could the Minister provide a substantiation for this project to start, and we'll go from there. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I'm going to ask a question about a random one of these assets and kind of dive deeper than just one singular asset, but let's just talk about the boat, the replacement boat for field work in Inuvik. Can I please get a substantiation for that item? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, a little bit of tentative good news there. Unfortunately, I was let down by the 2024 Employee Satisfaction Action Plan that was released with the 2023 survey results. It's vague. It doesn't speak deeply to tangible improvements probably because it start with "we need to build a plan." So how does the Minister wish to address employee morale based on the eight actions in that plan but also beyond them? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Would the Minister be willing to follow up in writing with committee on that? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are also for the Minister of Finance. I am eagerly awaiting the 2023-2024 Public Service Annual Report, which is a really nerdy thing to say. Can the Minister sneak peek a preview and tell us if the exits by reason shows an increase or decrease in resignations? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. With regards to the Slave Geological Province corridor planning and environmental assessment, could the Minister please give us a substantiation for that? Thank you.

Thank, Mr. Chair. So I can appreciate that answer, but if we haven't decided by the time that we're in this House I just -- I don't understand why we would assign money to a hope. Wouldn't we want to come back the next year? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. And I assume this is across the whole of the GNWT, but could the Minister please tell me what communities, what facilities, this will apply to in this go-around for this capital asset retrofit fund? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
