Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm good for this section.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. And that's good to hear we're not taking money or dollars away from those really crucial programs and the good work that they do. I know they're very popular in all of our regions, and it's good to see them continue and to be so carefully evaluated for their success. It's a really good success story for the department.

My next question on this section is specifically around legislative initiatives. There is a decrease in budget as well for the policy legislation evaluation and communications line item. So considering the fact that ECC is the GNWT's largest user of the...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thanks. Yeah, I'm going to have questions about the reorg throughout, but I will save them for the other applicable sections.

Can the department provide additional details on the transfer of the surface rights boards. What were the main drivers of this change? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Nothing further.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. So I'm just going to quickly flip through the activities to make sure this is a good question; I believe it is. I know that the department has done restructuring in recent years. Can the Minister speak a little bit to the role of ADM regional operations now that that key activity has been sort of subsumed into the other activities? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. How often does the committee meet? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And, you know, this is something I talked to the Minister about quite a bit. So can the Minister commit to looking during this primary care reform period into how we allot spaces between the two Yellowknife locations for same-day services? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Can we spell out the acronym, thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's my understanding that when you call for a same-day appointment in Yellowknife, you are assigned one location or the other, downtown or uptown. Can the Minister tell me how -- how same-day primary care appointments locations are selected and provided to someone who is calling in? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I just -- I note that that is top of mind when folks are headed out on the Ingraham Trail, especially, I think most people who have lived here in the Yellowknife area for a long time have recognized that we have a lot more windy days in the warmer weather and note just would really love to get an update on that from the Minister when it's available. So can the Minister commit to updating committee on that work. Thank you
