So this North Slave position, it's located in Yellowknife or in Tlicho region?

I would think they are related to, you know, to those specifics. But it would be nice to have more of those positions transferred to the regions. Even like with here, there's five assistant deputy ministers on page 70, and there's a superintendent for North Slave. Is that position in Yellowknife, or is it where is this job located at? And there's you know, a lot of these positions here as identified, there's five assistant deputy minister. A lot of these in the small communities where they settled land claims, these positions will be beneficial to help our land claim groups. That's why I'm...

Yeah, the reason why I ask about that is because there's a lot of contaminated sites in the NWT and there are still you know, a lot of people are still concerned, you know, especially if it's in their backyard. We have oil and gas. We have uranium. We have the Giant Mine. Now with mining that's expected to close. So I'm just wondering if this was enough. The money that you're you know, it's for remediation, you said that. So how much of that is going to be for, like for the employment and for or is it for positions more? Is more going for the position or for the cleanup?

Yeah, North Slave consists of Yellowknife and Lutselk'e consists Fort Resolution, Dettah, N'dilo, and Tlicho regions. So what I would like to see is something specifically for Tlicho because we're not part of Yellowknife, and I keep saying that. So I just wanted to know if in the future, you know I know people do change all the time, so I would like to see more position transferred to Tlicho region. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. Here I know that with the contaminated site it's under the environment protection and waste management. So last year it was near budgeted 344. I just I want to know how much is allocated for the contaminated sites this year?

Yeah, those are important positions for our community because for in our regions, we have a lot of contaminated sites. We have a lot of issues. So it would be nice if we can have will the Minister commit to transferring these two positions to Tlicho region? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was asking I know they do the evaluation for a reason. There's a reason behind it, because the program is not working in many of our communities. But even like my colleague from Thebacha mentioned, that a lot of people lost their job as a result of the new of the equivalencies. So I'm just asking the Minister that once the evaluation is completed, what kind of options are they looking for in this for this, part of the equivalency like, what kind of options are they looking for within this for this CYCC positions, like, once it's completed? Like, what...

Thank you. Yeah, for the position, I see here because we're still on the environmental management and monitoring climate, and for the active position, there's nothing in Tlicho region on page 85, but North Slave has two, and headquarters they have 66. So why there is nothing allocated in Tlicho region?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we need to ensure the Indigenous government are working with the schools and the Government of the Northwest Territories to make CYCC positions as effective as possible. How is the Government of the Northwest Territories working with the Tlicho government and other Indigenous government to share best practices and information on supporting students in being drug free and directing them to support where they are available? Thank you.

Thank you.
