Thank you, Mr. Chair. Now, I'd heard directly from the teachers' association that they were concerned about ECE kind of whittling away at professional development and mentorship opportunities for teachers. And I'm not sure exactly where that might show up in this budget but they mentioned, for example, the New to the North orientation. So teachers that are coming up here and new to the North, they got a more sort of in-depth orientation to the North and helped them get settled in which would be good for the teachers themselves to have a welcome -- a warm welcome and also really good for...

Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. I think I understand if the Minister is saying that if we're getting, like, a new federal funding source, then we can help use that to bring down the deficit, and then the numbers are going to show up in these things. But I guess what I would be afraid of is that if it's still the GNWT footing the bill but we're just shifting sort of the blame, so to speak, it used to be under the health authority's deficit budget and then they solved their deficit by just putting the money under something the GNWT's responsible for paying -- well, HSS is responsible for paying for...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services following up on my statement.

So child and family services has a category called neglect which is one basis for reporting mistreatment to CFS and sometimes results in apprehension of children from their homes. Is there a clear definition of neglect either in legislation or policy? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wanted to start by just following up on my colleague's line of questioning from Great Slave on the school-based mental health counsellors.

So can the Minister confirm, is the program now set -- I know there was a lot of changes, a lot flux happening for a while because it was changed rather suddenly at the beginning of a school year -- I guess it was probably the beginning of the school year for 2023-2024, and so there was a lot of kind of not knowing what it was going to look like next, how it was all going to shake out. Is it fully shaken out now? Is it like what we...

Okay, so just to be clear, can the Minister confirm that we are not forcing people to detox in the hospital if they're not ready or wanting to just to be a patient in the hospital? There's no need for that because we have other ways that we can manage their alcohol dependency within the hospital; can the Minister confirm that's where we're at? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So the Minister's claiming this is a case just like any other commercial lease. Does the GNWT hold any other commercial leases where we actually own the building and we've leased it to someone and then subleased it back from them? Is there any other cases of any other building or any other commercial lease that works that way in the territory? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks, Madam Chair. With the remaining time I have in this segment, I also just wanted to ask about -- I think there was a commitment in -- I'm not even sure which document it comes from now. But due to the closures of NWT residential treatment centres for children and youth, there were plans to pilot land-based healing youth programs to try to fill some of those gaps and there was an intention, anyway, in December 2023 to pilot a cultural wellness camp for youth with complex needs. So -- and this sort of bleeds partly into community mental wellness and addictions recovery too I think. But...

Mr. Speaker, I want to speak today about the Stanton P3 project, the biggest infrastructure project the GNWT has ever undertaken, now estimated to cost at least $1.2 billion.

I'm not here to just wag my finger. I want to focus on the value of government publicly admitted its mistakes, which we are often so afraid to do. If this government wants us to take seriously its ambitions to build three new multi- billion-dollar megaprojects, including highways and the Taltson expansion, it needs to address head on what went wrong with the Stanton P3. It's so obviously absurd that we are now subleasing...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm curious to know whether there's consideration within this new approach. I know that there's a much more emphasis on family preservation which is, of course, necessary and long overdue. But my understanding is that family preservation workers are sort of part and parcel working within the same office as case workers or those who might be involved in, say, child apprehensions, that kind of thing, and so this might create some fear or barriers in families trying to seek those supports, family preservation, knowing that it's all sort of one office.

As part of this...

Thank you. And just quickly following up on that, does the Minister happen to know or is it published, the turnover rates amongst CFS staff? Thank you, Madam Chair.
