Thank you. No, the reason why I asked too is that because in June when we went to Whati, since the allseason road opened, the crime rate increased. And they don't have I think I know I've been advocating for more jobs to be decentralized. We only have one probation officer in Tlicho region, and which is the position is in Behchoko. I think Whati needs another one. Like, we need another probation officer because to deal with the people and then the one person that we have is overworked. So I just wanted to know if there's any commitment from the Department of Justice or from the department...

Thank you. We're on page 301 303? Okay, corrections, yes. I just want to ask the Minister if they have data. I know that the from the health status report in 2018 from 2018, the crime rate, Tlicho region had the highest rate. But in NWT, it had the highest crime rate. But is there any data that you guys have, like recent data, on which community, which area has the highest crime rate in the NWT?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we know to mitigate the impacts of climate change we need resilient infrastructure that is done in collaboration with communities. What planning has occurred to begin to develop an allseason road to the community of Gameti by the Department of Infrastructure, and also to Wekweeti as well? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, climate change is impacting our ability to get fuel, food, and other resources into small communities. The winter road system we currently use is vulnerable to climate change. In fact, the winter road to Gameti opened on February 27th. This will most likely be one of the shortest winter road seasons on record. I have elders, contractors, and residents who do not feel that they can use the winter road systems due to the rapidly changing ice conditions. Some people do not feel safe.

Mr. Speaker, I don't blame these people because in the past I do not blame...

No, that's good. I just wanted to know. Thank you.

Okay, sorry about that. Yes, thank you for the information. You know, like I mean, I'm it's good to know that so I can pass on the information and then hopefully the Minister of housing is hearing this and will let my constituents know how much they still owe, you know, like, so they can move on with their life.

Another one too is that I don't know if somebody asked this already. Coroner office. There's an increase, and I just wanted to ask how many coroners do we have in the Northwest Territories?

With reference to rental office, I do have some constituents where some other people have been coming to me and saying that they their arrears were garnished. But they haven't received any up to date information about how much they still owe. And they said they don't get nothing. They don't know, and they're still being garnished. And they don't a lot of these people they said they want to know how much they still owe but there's no there's no communication coming from the rental office or whoever was supposed to be communicating with them. So I just wanted to know, like, what else is...

Okay. Well, I just said that he should they should create a position in Whati so that way people can work with their you know, deal with work with the people over there in that community because the two yes, the in Behchoko, we have there's over 2,000 people there and the last in January, when they had the court, I know a lot of our young people's name were on the list and it's you know, it's sad, you know. And a lot of these young people, you know, there are a lot there's a lot of good people but everything involves drugs and alcohol. So if we do have more positions, we have more...

Okay, thank you. Well, then okay, this crime rate, community corrections, correction administration and all that, of the total fund here, so how many of this funds is allocated to Tlicho region, because I know I know we're still in the high, you know, with the crime rate. So how much of this money is allocated to Tlicho region alone?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I live in the area. A couple years ago I know, due to climate change, the road to the communities, to Gameti was closed early, and to Wekweeti as well. So, yeah, I think she doesn't need to tell me, but we do know because we live there.

So, Mr. Speaker, we see a lot of benefits for energy and food security with allseason roads to our communities. What future planning is being doing to connect all the Tlicho communities to clean and renewable energy? When can the communities of Gameti and Whati expect a transmission line? Thank you.
