Thank you, Mr. Chairperson. Under community wellness and addiction recovery support fund, they look very similar to mental health  sorry, mental wellness and addictions recovery. So you have a 3.  we'll call it  055 budget and a $125,000 budget. What is the true distinct difference between the two; why aren't they collapsed and put together? Thank you. Because they say similar things.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'll waste my third question by saying would the Minister be willing to supply it? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Maybe just the  if it's been asked, maybe just a quick snap answer which is how much money do we spend in aftercare? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, and I'll focus in on income support area. My question directly to the Minister is what type of peer and support counselling does income support provide their clients from day to day? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to confirm the before I ask the question, make sure I'm on the right page, we're still discussing the area that covers ATIPP?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm going to pass at this time. I think my Member from the Sahtu said it clear enough. Thank you.

So I'm not going to drag this on. Just to clarify, we only have  that's not like two half times. We're talking one doctor only in the Northwest Territories working for fee for service. Okay. I'm seeing nods.

And our locums, are they working for fee for service, or are they  I'm seeing nos. So I've answered my own question. That's all I need. Okay. Thank you. I have agreed to move on. Thank you.

Yeah, thank you. And it's ironic, I mean, our facilities numbers are going down, which is no one wants to pray for more crime which would mean the facilities would be busier. So I don't know if this is a symptom of things are getting better or worse in some ways. And maybe is there a reason why the trend is going in this way? The Yellowknife facility, if I remember correctly, was built for around 200 individuals. The Hay River facility could handle I can't remember the number. I'll say 40, maybe or so. The numbers isn't the issue that I'm raising, is the trend is the issue. And is there...

Yeah, no, thank you. With the response of the other written information that the Minister said she'll provide, can I find out where outside the regular authorities we go? So, for example, I'm assuming we don't have a doctor in Fort Simpson as an example, but do we send locums there? Is that charged to the, for example, the remaining amount  I'm trying to find out how we get doctors into the other regions outside of the main three, and what is that cost. Thank you.

Unless I missed it, maybe the Minister could put it officially on the record, when is the anticipation date to provide the layoffs in the context of effectiveness? Assuming the budget goes through, I mean you can't give layoff notices until the budget passes but what's the intent here? And it's funny to say it this way but is that being communicated with the staff? I mean, if they're listening, it's probably being communicated. So it's not meant to be a tricky question, Mr. Chairman. It's just a quite honest question, which is when would it be effective, or the intent is to be effective? Thank...
