Sorry, Mr. Chair. I was just trying to catch up to your page number; it took me a moment. I do have a question for the Minister, but I'm not certain if this is the right area. No, it's not, thank you. Sorry, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I was wondering if the Minister can commit to providing a more detailed breakdown to committee on the surplus and its activities that are planned. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And just so the Minister knows, I'm going to ask her this every year. Will the Minister please consider opening the DMV in Yellowknife on Saturdays? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Minister for that. I think that would go a long way for folks to understand the new lay of the land.

There is an outstanding issue that I am not aware of the answer to yet, but it was raised in this House in the 19th Assembly, which is northern residents tax deduction which is a related by separate issue. Can the Minister tell me if indexing of that residency amount has been raised since 2023? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

So building on the deputy minister's answer, then -- and I'm very glad to hear that he mentioned that working with Indigenous governments is key and crucial. Is there work in this envelope between EIA and the Council of Leaders of how we are seeking more dollars for these issues that are being addressed under A Way Home? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yeah, no, thank you, Mr. Chair. That's really good to hear, and I think that will really benefit the work that the GNWT is doing on this particular item and the calls to justice. So no, very happy to hear about this work being done. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Nothing further.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, in the update updated to the business plan for this year, EIA is speaking to additional work on MMIWG, which is always a good thing. Can the Minister please explain what the purpose and expected results of the MMIWG advisory committee are. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just one more question on this which is will the results of an engagement with the comms community be shared with Members. Thank you.
