Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The second week of June marks Mining Week, a time to celebrate the industry that has built the North as we know it and reflect on the hard work of the first pioneers and all who have come after them in maintaining and growing our engine of economic growth.

Mining Week is a proud tradition first proclaimed by Yellowknife Mayor McMahon in 1991. This year, the Nunavut and NWT Chamber of Mines will be holding the mine rescue competition on June 14th and 15th at the multiplex arena. They will also hold a miners’ picnic on the 15th outside the multiplex from 12 to 3 p.m.

Mr...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. How much money have we spent on tenant improvements at the courthouse facility since leasing it in the first place? Thank you.

Thank you. No, I think our resource speaks for itself, and the regulatory environment is certainly -- or regulatory improvements is certainly welcome and one of the issues that needs to be addressed. But access to capital is another one. So any -- I think every -- and any dollar that goes towards building a stronger economy through resource development is a benefit, and when you have -- I know we're in fiscal restraint, so we have to make wise use of our dollars. And, again, a times eight multiplier is a significant -- significantly good return on investment. So I would strongly encourage the...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So as the Premier pointed out when we reviewed Justice, there is no wellness centre in this -- sorry, in the other document we'll be reviewing, but there is no wellness centre on the books. There's an idea of a wellness centre. It is uncosted. It is unplanned. It is a conversation starter. So I don't think we should be talking about how we're going to use this appropriation to support any other infrastructure projects when none of them are even in the planning stage. And furthermore, I just want to point out, I guess for the record, is last week the Premier hadn't engaged...

Thank you. That seems likes a very good return on investment. Since the -- when was the fund increased to $1.5 million? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The security and intercom system upgrade, Fort Smith, transfer van replacement, Fort Smith, which facilities are those lines -- or which facility in Fort Smith is this going to impact? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding is that -- maybe I framed it wrong, but how the applications -- or the dollar amount of applications were -- came in for the program last fiscal year, so not the actuals, but the number -- or how much money was applied for. Thank you.

Thank you. Would the Minister -- would there be any issues if -- no, never mind. Okay, I look forward to that. Because I think there is interest at tackling this from a value for money perspective and from an independent body that is not the power corp looking into its own costs. So I know that that's a discussion that we've had as Members, and if there's any way to get this information out there, then we can take that report and do something with it, whether it's a review by standing committee or bringing in some sort of independent expertise to look at it. But I know there is a lot of...

Nothing further. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When is the cost construction report for the Inuvik Wind Project due to be released? Thank you.
