Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister of Education assure me, and the constituents of Thebacha, that Fort Smith is still the intended location for the main campus and headquarters of the future polytechnic university? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I don't have any questions.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The windfall of $750,000 should be going to the actual victims of serious crimes. You know, there's a very serious crime that happened in the community of Fort Smith and, you know, some of these funds should be allocated to people that the whole community was affected by this crime. And, you know, they on the website, it has cleanup, you know, securing the doors and some of these things. But you know, we always make sure that the person who committed the crime has legal services all the way through, but the people that are victims of the crime, the complete family of...

Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, economic recovery starts at home, okay. It wasn't an economic opportunity for a small airline to get some help in the fourth phase and now in the fifth phase. Economic recovery is for those people who live and reside in the Northwest Territories.

We are constantly – constantly doing the wrong thing when it comes to these kind of initiatives where we're always making sure that the southern interest is always looked after. And, you know, that's not okay.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The Government of the Northwest Territories did not spend $1 million of support that was supposed to go to regional airlines by March 31st, 2022. And so they've asked for an extension of an extra year to get the money out.

I want to know why these funds weren't spent before March 31st, 2022?

For.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too will get up in support of the motion.

This motion is to address the healthcare deficiency in small communities; the access to doctors, specialists must be addressed.

Personally I've always addressed each concern brought to my attention from my own constituents to the Minister's office. I just want to mention that 99 percent of the answers, in the replies, have always been positive. And I want to thank the Office of Health and Social Services for that.

The Indigenous file for small communities is extremely important. And the leaders at all the former meetings, in my...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister commit to provide this House with an updated status on the polytechnic university at its earliest possible time? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister please provide some clarity regarding the meeting that took place on May 30th at city hall of Yellowknife about the polytechnic university. What is the intended purpose of that meeting? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the other day, on May 30th, the mayor and council of Yellowknife held a meeting to discuss whether the city should enter into a memorandum of understanding with Aurora College and the Government of the Northwest Territories about the location of the Yellowknife campus for the future polytechnic university. There were multiple media reports about that meeting which implied some concerning and misleading information about the future polytechnic university and where its main campus and headquarters will be located.

Mr. Speaker, it has already been reiterated...
