Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the following questions with respect to health care management to the Minister of Health and Social Services. Please provide the following:

How many full-time physicians were hired by the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority (NTHSSA) last fiscal year;

How many full-time physicians left their employment with the NTHSSA last fiscal year;

A breakdown of the reasons for why full-time physicians left their employment with NTHSSA last fiscal year, including resignation, term expiration, retirement, termination, and any other relevant reason;

A...

Thank you. I have great confidence in President Bailey and our Cabinet to press this issue at the federal table.

Can the Minister explain what the cost overage on the program is; what's driving the costs? Thank you.

Thank you. I mean, I have issues with, like, the debt ceiling in the first place. I think it's a -- it makes sense -- if you're a territory it makes -- an autonomous governing territory, it makes a lot of sense if you're basically a province, which we are. So anyway, we have to do what we have to do.

Is this going to affect -- we currently have the -- the GNWT has a double A minus credit rating from Fitch and an AA2 from Moody's. Is this going to impact our credit rating at all? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, March is not a date, so I'm wondering if the Minister can commit to a specific date when the House can expect a plan or at least -- or a deadline when a plan should be made available. I think this is important for us so we have a comfort that the process is moving along; there's a clear deadline. I don't -- earlier or later, that's fine, but we need something set so we know what the deliverable is, our constituents will know when the deliverable is, and we can hold the Minister accountable for this -- for the commitments towards the public administrator...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can the Minister explain why the GNWT is responsible -- still responsible for funding Metis health benefits when in a post-Daniels case world where the federal government is supposed to be responsible for this? It seems unfair that we have to shoulder that burden when it has been proven in the courts -- or tested in the courts that it is a federal responsibility. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

So for the layperson, then, a prorogued parliament is not going to delay this at all, so we should be able to move forward on this regardless of what happens in the House of Commons; is that an accurate summation of where we're at? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister mentioned that she's ready to come -- or she will be prepared to come back to the House with a plan from the public administrator to solve the problems we have in health care or at least start to solve them. When can we expect to see that plan; can we have a date? Thank you.

Is the -- would the Minister indicate how much of this is in compensation -- direct compensation to the agencies?

Thank you. Is that inclusive or additional? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, certainly, I don't think anyone expects the governance council to run day-to-day operational concerns of the health authority. My question was what does the -- what new powers -- or sorry, what did the council not have that the public administrator does? Thank you.
