Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Written questions I have is a document for unresolved matters of the federal Indian Day School. I'd like to table this document or sorry written question, I'd like to put this on the record. Thank you. I thought we were done. Okay, thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Unresolved matters of the federal Indian Day School. My questions are to the Premier regarding the unresolved matter of the federal Indian Day School:

On April 1, 1969, the Roman Catholic Church and Anglican Church relinquished control of the federal Indian Day Schools and transferred the programs to the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you, Minister, for that. Yeah, I guess the community's been wanting answers for some time, and we had a meeting in May, and we were I attended that meeting in that community and they were still asking the question, you know, where's the Minister, where's the MACA staff, and that kind of thing. So anyways, so Mr. Speaker, it's clear the residents of Fort Resolution are frustrated. Will the Minister go to Fort Resolution and consult with the community members and elected council before taking further action? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier in my Member's statement I talked about what's going on in Fort Resolution, and it's a little bit disheartening to witness what's going on there and listen to the hamlet council and also to the deputy mayor. And I also want to just apologize for not getting these questions to the Minister of MACA sooner, but I but anyway, I just wanted to ask the question. MACA, in regards to how did MACA work to assist the community through its challenges since 2019 to implement the work plan with MACA before pulling the trigger about a month ago? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today as a voice of concern and frustration regarding the recent press release issued by the deputy mayor of Fort Resolution. It is disheartening to witness the lack of accountability and transparency alleged against the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs in his dealing with the community.

The concern raised in the press release demanded immediate attention and action. The withdrawal from the comanagement arrangement, despite the struggling accumulated deficit and projected deficit, is simply unacceptable. The financial position of the Hamlet of Fort...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wish to table a list of graduates from the Tu NedheWiilideh riding, and I want to say congratulations to them. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Minister. I think now that, you know, it sounds like the administration's going to happen, and there are still concerns with the residents of Fort Resolution in regards to the water rates and sewer rates going up. Can the Minister assure the community that that doesn't happen right now until we have a better hand on what's going to happen in the administration work plan? And I'm hoping that the Minister could probably explain that as he goes into the community once he's notified on the date. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Minister for your response. In your response, you talked about in 2020 the agreement comanagement agreement expired. However, in the deputy minister's press release, it talked about MACA withdrew from the comanagement agreement. And so my question is, Mr. Speaker, why did MACA withdraw from the comanagement agreement despite that $640,000 community deficit was not shared with the elected council? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also would like to thank all the translators, Jonas Lafferty, Lena Drygeese, Tom Unka, Mark Casaway. Also my CA, Shirley Tsetta. Also, I'd like to recognize and say thank you to all the clerks and the staff and the pages, and especially the cooks that were providing meals. Mahsi.
