Thank you. That's all the questions I have for the Minister for that. Thank you.

Thank you for the Minister for that response. Is there a number for the budget and a length of time that they can run these programs? Is there  like, what's the max for the budget? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question is to the Minister on xray machines in small communities. Do all small communities have xray machines? Thank you.

Thank you. That's all I have to say for that. Thank you.

Thank you. That's all I wanted to know. Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today's statement I wanted to honour and provide congratulations to Dehcho residents who will be graduated and obtaining either their grade 12 diploma or a degree from their postsecondary studies.

Mr. Speaker, the names of these individuals, their achievement, and the institutions they're graduating from include:

Kelly Leishman from Fort Providence is obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a degree in drawing from the University of Alberta;

Annadette Bouvier who is obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Vancouver;

Anonda Canadien is obtaining a...

Yeah, thank you. I too want to say reiterate what the last two Members talked about. This department needs to work together and protect people. Crime rates in my region, I could say for a couple of the communities in my region, is very high. People are afraid, and lives are being destroyed because of the drug trade. And, yeah, so what I have to say, I guess, is give the police the support that they need to combat these crimes that are happening in our communities. It's sad to say that people in my community of Fort Providence can't even leave their homes unless there's somebody there to watch...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Looking back at directorate or when we go back and we look at all the staff that's in the Premier's office and executive and Indigenous affairs office, the organizational chart and account structural chart. I have people asking me why is the department so heavy on like, top heavy, and can some of those positions like, do they really need all of those positions in that office? Or and can some of that money be used in well, they're just saying it's top heavy. And that's what I wanted to say, it's top heavy and we could use money from those positions in other programs...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The funding for the Women's Initiatives and Native Women's Association and Status of Women Council, these they're all funded like for three they get multiyear funding; right? Or is it just one-year funding at a time? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement, I spoke about the importance of providing sufficient health promotion within the schools across the NWT. Recently, the GNWT began using the education curriculum from British Columbia. So I would like to ask the Minister of ECE if there have been any major changes with regards to health promotion in our schools since changing the curriculum? Thank you.
