Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Minister did set up a very helpful tour for a lot of Members, at the North Slave Correctional Facility, that a lot of us did partake in, and it was really nice to have the opportunity during that visit to meet with the facility's traditional counsellor who is employed there. I am wondering, because a lot of inmates in the Northwest Territories are also on a healing journey when they are in our correctional facilities, does the traditional counsel have their own budget line item for cultural activities within the facilities? Thank you

Okay. It does fall under here, but we are not entirely sure where. Maybe that would be under compensation and benefits? I am going to take a guess. There is a bit of an increase there, but I think it is from UNW forced growth. I am wondering if there is an increase, for this fiscal year, of leadership professional development training for corrections officers. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regards to the protection against family violence line, does this also include financial support for victims of family violence? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Does the Minister have a breakdown of where people or the clients of ICM are from? Are they all from Yellowknife or some from communities? Is it a mixture? Is it exclusively Yellowknife? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I just find it difficult to evaluate how effective this use of dollars is without knowing what we stand to collect and what we stand to gain from it, so I find it difficult to approve this without knowing what the other department stands to gain from it and, ultimately, what the GNWT stands to gain or lose from this addition to the budget. I just wanted to make sure that that was noted here. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if the increase to contract services is also in relation to the guns and gangs contract, or are there other contracts involved in that increase as well? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. What would be the cost of these three positions? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. It's my understanding that the City of Yellowknife requested a memorandum of understanding in partnership with the City of Yellowknife, local Indigenous governments, and the GNWT. Will the Minister be prepared to satisfy this request for a memorandum of understanding, committing to working together on land-transfer solutions? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just noticed I missed something on page 284 and I'm wondering if we can turn back.

This past weekend was the NWT Association of Communities AGM in Inuvik. Since long before the election of the 19th Assembly, the topic of Commissioner's land within the City of Yellowknife has definitely been a hot topic. What commitments were made at the AGM in regard to the transfer of Commissioner's land to municipalities?
