Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, amongst the three authorities, if I understand it correctly, could I get the breakout of how many in each authority and adding the specific dollar amount of contribution to that allotment? So in other words how many are in the Inuvik authority and how much that's distributed financially and then sucessively. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And hearing the Premier's answer, which I thank him for, because I didn't give him notice I was asking these questions, but that said it sounds like there's an expectation that Members are here to set Ministers up so they look really good. Is that a fact? Or are Ministers expected to know their departments with some fullness of effort? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Wellness is an act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to obtain better physical and mental outcomes. So instead of just surviving, we are thriving. Mr. Speaker, fast-forward to today. Wellness, or even well-being, really matters. Times have changed. When we look back, the government has made decisions in the past that may have seen -- or been perceived as efficient but the quality didn't...

Oh, myself? No, I support the comments provided by my good colleague for the Sahtu. So I support his concerns. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the only thing I would say left on this one is that, again, I take the job loss serious. I mean, sometimes government has to do things. I recognize that. I mean, I don't support the layoffs personally in the sense of, yeah, this is a good idea. You're not going to hear that from me. But what I would say is that I recognize the government has to do the government of business sometimes, and I would encourage the department and the Minister to use the fulsome opportunity of trying to find ways to bridge these into the other two facilities, be it Hay River or...
