Thank you. I imagine that every time a new collective agreement is negotiated that there will be increases. The current collective agreement expires at the end of this month. Thank you.

Thank you. I'd like to direct that to Mr. Bancroft.

Thank you. So the vast majority of the corrections budget is associated with the correctional facilities. So that would be spent in those communities where those facilities exist. However, we do have probation officers in the Tlicho region. We're just looking for that information right now, to see how many there might be. Thank you.

Thank you. I would love to see this in every single community in the Northwest Territories. I think that would be great if we had people that could, you know, assist clients in need everywhere. So thank you.

Thank you. So those are there's definitely connections there. I know that the provider in Hay River who receives who had received funding under this has worked with those individuals who are in that world. But the initiatives like the Member is talking about would be undertaken by the RCMP as opposed to community justice necessarily. Thank you.

Not to my knowledge. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So earlier in her statement the Member mentioned that back in I believe it was 2002 it was thought that there would need to be a replacement sometime around 2015 or 2020, something like that. And clearly we haven't needed that yet. So it's hard for me to put numbers out there, dates out there, when obviously things can change. Right now, based on the information we have, we're looking at 2035. But that could come a lot sooner; it could take longer. You know, Fort Smith has Aurora College with a trades school, and I think that expertise in trades really has helped those...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The last technical status evaluation was 2005. These evaluations are typically done when work is planned to be done on a building. However, there was a building condition assessment completed on JBT by the Department of Infrastructure in August of 2022. These assessments are not as in depth as the technical status evaluation, but they do provide an overall assessment of the building. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following document: Followup Letter for Oral Question 134119(2): Civil Forfeiture. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Sorry, Mr. Speaker. I might have missed the question, but we have $1 million in the fund, and based on the programs that apply that's how we make a determination. So sometimes there may only be a few programs that actually qualify based on the proposal. And so those programs, as we've seen in the past, can get some significant amounts of funding. And I apologize if I missed the Member's statement. I will say that we have also overspent. I believe we spent $1.28 million last year on this because there was a number of good proposals, and there was a demonstrated need that we wanted to support...
