Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we all know, questions are to illuminate information, probe concerns, and chase down individual details, and there's a reasonable expectation that certain information cannot be at the tip of the Ministers' fingers. So, Mr. Speaker, I just want to clarify one more time on the record, is there any type of informal impression that the government will take if a Member -- not informal -- or actually now I'm trying to qualify this in a way -- is there any sort of backlash or negative response or attitude from the government if a Member chooses not to proceed that --...

Of course I'd recommend a hundred percent reprint of the whole budget just so we add the word youth. No, I don't. But I would recommend if it's targeted at our youth, then we should put in brackets youth just to help clarity. More of an edit there than concerns.

So maybe we could jump to one of my favorite topics, doctors. Why don't we start with how many doctors do we have employed under this service, and where do we find them? Thank you. In which authority -- thank you -- when I say where do we find them.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Premier. When I was first elected, I quickly realized how little I knew in the context of government policy and process, and it's certainly a long journey. But since coming back to this Assembly, I notice there seems to be a theme which is Members are asked, either by Ministers or Minister assistants, to supply questions in advance. I'm asking the Premier specifically, is it a mandate position or an expectation in the Simpson government that Members would supply questions in advance to the Ministers? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairperson. Under community wellness and addiction recovery support fund, they look very similar to mental health -- sorry, mental wellness and addictions recovery. So you have a 3. -- we'll call it -- 055 budget and a $125,000 budget. What is the true distinct difference between the two; why aren't they collapsed and put together? Thank you. Because they say similar things.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'll waste my third question by saying would the Minister be willing to supply it? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Maybe just the -- if it's been asked, maybe just a quick snap answer which is how much money do we spend in aftercare? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, and I'll focus in on income support area. My question directly to the Minister is what type of peer and support counselling does income support provide their clients from day to day? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to confirm the -- before I ask the question, make sure I'm on the right page, we're still discussing the area that covers ATIPP?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm going to pass at this time. I think my Member from the Sahtu said it clear enough. Thank you.

So I'm not going to drag this on. Just to clarify, we only have -- that's not like two half times. We're talking one doctor only in the Northwest Territories working for fee for service. Okay. I'm seeing nods.

And our locums, are they working for fee for service, or are they -- I'm seeing nos. So I've answered my own question. That's all I need. Okay. Thank you. I have agreed to move on. Thank you.
