I move that the Government of the Northwest Territories make the report as described in section 68 of the act publicly available, including details not limited to a number of permits issued and in good standing, a number of approvals, orders issued, prosecutions, fines, and inspections, etcetera. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair, I move that the Committee Motion 30219(2) be rescinded. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we live climate change every day where we are from. I have shoreline erosion programs. I have so much going on. We have colder winters, more a lot less snow but colder, longer periods of time. You know that, you live up back in the Delta with us. Mr. Speaker, at the end of the day this carbon tax has to be really looked at and either make it help me help you. Put a tiered system in. Tier one Yellowknife, tier two Sahtu, tier three Beaufort Delta. Pretty simple. If they could do that and then talking again to talk to Canada, why do we have to pay? We're the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And yeah, no, I'm just wondering if the Minister could work with our Minister of ECE to explore expanded home heating subsidy program for our Arctic region for our elders and people, private homeowners, that are in that system. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to talk about the fuel prices in my riding of Nunakput, Mr. Speaker. Across Canada, it seems year over year significant increases in the fuel prices turn, and it raises the price of overall cost of living in our riding. Mr. Speaker, my riding, we rely on fuel for everything transportation, to heat our homes, to hunt. In essence, Mr. Speaker, we basically need fuel to live.

When the prices get bad in the south, it even gets worse in the Beaufort Delta and Nunakput. Three or four communities in my riding have the price our fuel set by the Government of the...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just in regards to the units that I have going into my communities on the project listings, I just want to make sure that we are getting stickbuilt and we're not getting prefab units because we are getting it looks like they're trying to send the prefab unit in the community of Tuk. And talking with my leadership, they don't want it. They want stickbuilt units, which are going to provide work and be able to provide a little bit a little bit of employment. And it's the same thing right across within Paulatuk, Ulukhaktok, you know, all of my communities, they should be...

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, just in regards to Madam Minister that the GNWT do I guess did we talk to your federal counterparts in regards to seeing where they could go with this holdup in regards to put into screening? When it like, I'll argue again, I mean, it is a land claim and it's 71A lands. The people of Tuk own that land. And that land claim was signed in 1984. So why are they pushing it to screening and why is it going the way it's going when it shouldn't be with our federal government. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I think what we have to do I look back, back in the 90s when we were younger, when we were able to travel around with the education, through the education system, having, like, a putting it into the schools and having a if you're good attendance and if you're able to go with your attendance to give them incentive to go to school, to do travel. And that's what they used to do with us. And I think with the education, I think with the would the Minister be interested in working with the Minister of Education on this as well? Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Today my Member's statement was on youth, youth and sport in regards to the communities, all 33 communities, getting, I guess, a revamp and looked at again for sporting events across our territory. But the one I'm really looking at is the Beaufort Delta, for our ridings. So I'm just wondering if Minister Thompson would be able to find in regards to I know we have the Arctic Winter Games coming up in January 29th. I'm just wondering if we could try to piggyback with that sporting events with the monies that they do have coming, are we able to use that to bring in kids...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that the committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories proactively disclose information contained in the registry of the Act, described in section 13 of the Act, by making it publicly available. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
