Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So I will get the Minister those names in regards to the family, single mother of five children is being deducted $41,000 and not getting income support and being penalized by our government when they should be providing service. I think that we have to try to keep the, I guess, services that are needed by the single people. And we're not this is not by choice for taking income support. It's because they have no choice and there's no jobs where we're from.

Mr. Speaker, I really think right across the whole, with the forgiving the CERB payment, is this Minister and I'm...

Madam Chair, I move that this committee recommends that Rule 9.4(5) be amended to read:

"the government will be required to table a comprehensive responses to the committee report, including all recommendations, within 120 days, or at the earliest opportunity subsequent to the passage of 120 days when:

(a) a report requesting a response is adopted by the Assembly; or

(b) a motion is adopted by Committee of the Whole requesting a response. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that this committee recommends that Rule 2.3(4) be amended by adding "all remaining business shall stand over until the next sitting day" to the end of the existing rule. Thank you, Madam Chair.

I appreciate that. Mr. Speaker, with the CERB payments and the disability payments across the territory, and especially into our riding of Nunakput, can the Minister explain to me why are we debt collecting for the federal government and we are these are programs that are impacted because residents have received this federal funding, but are we still debt collecting for CERB and disability payments across the territory? Thank you.

Madam Chair, I move that the committee recommends that the wording of Rule 9.3(6) be deleted and replaced with "the clerk shall notify all Regular Members of upcoming meetings and ensure agendas are available publicly." Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Tonight I'll be voting with the carbon tax but I just want to put clarity is the reason I'm supporting the carbon tax bill tonight, it's going to give our communities their funds with the local community governments, and it's going to get the monies to the people, the individual peoples that need it. And I'm still praying it's a tiered system. And we're that's why I'm supporting it tonight. But as the carbon tax bill as a whole, I don't support it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

One second, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, I am I'm going to support this. It's moving forward. We're going to bring everybody to the table And that's good news about what's happening here. Devolution in ‘14, I was here when that happened. And Inuvialuit, we signed on and everybody was given opportunity. But now if this bill passes, we get to pull it, bring everybody to the table and everybody will have a voice and a say in what they think is right. You know, I really hear what Ron says but, you know, at the end of the day we have to work together, and what Mr. Simpson said is we have to a starting point...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You know, the under the homelessness strategy, we were told in this House that they do have units available in the community. And I'd like to make the Minister if she could get provide that information to me, not here today. If she could get that information so I could provide it to my leadership and to the people that are homelessness in the communities that I represent.

Also, Mr. Speaker, with the water shortage that we have in our communities in public housing, you know as well as I do that we have communities with overallocated with their children because we don't...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I brought up homelessness in my riding in Nunakput and water delivery in public housing because they both intertwine. The stresses on the family and elder abuse in regards to homelessness and people not having a safe place to live.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister provide the House today, in my riding, how many safe houses that we have and if they're furnished in the communities? Thank you.
