Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to remind the Ministers, the next sitting date after we're done here is October 15th, and nothing is going to be happening in our ridings, because that's going to be freeze-up, and stuff like that. You can't do all the ground work that's needed to do the extension on that school. So, it being a shovel-ready project, why can't we go ahead with that project in regard to getting it started with the monies that we do have, the $12 million? Where does that come into play in regard to getting the foundation ready so we could be working this winter, potentially...

Once they put that first step into the Northwest Territories, who is going to pay that hotel bill in regard to the 14-day isolation plan? Is it us? Are taxpayers in the Northwest Territories going to pay, or is it going to be the person who is coming in out of province. Who pays?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, I just want to follow up on the Member for Yellowknife Centre's questions in regard to the 14-day isolation time for workers coming into the territory. We opened it up today for all Canadians to come into our territory with a 14-day isolation. I need clarification in regard to that because it's contradicting Dr. Kandola's healthcare plan for the territory. Can I have just clarification on that? Are all Canadian citizens allowed to come to the territory for the 14-day plan? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The Standing Committee on Economic Development and Environment recommends the Government provide a response to the recommendations contained in this report within 120 days. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your Standing Committee of Economic Development and Environment is pleased to provide the "Report on Long-Term Post-Pandemic Recovery: Recommendations to the GNWT" and commends it to the House.

Thank you, Madam Chair. This seems to be funny for my colleagues across the table here. I'm concerned in regard to the way things happen here, fairness. Like I said before, and I did a Member's statement on this, we're tired of having our members, our elders, taken out of our communities and then the only time they're home is when you're bringing them home to bury them. That's what this is. For myself, I'm passionate about it. Like I said, you don't need another 48 beds. Take 30 beds and give six to my communities; give six to Paulatuk; give six to Sachs or to Ulukhaktok. We need this. I'm...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Policing across our territory: in the wake of Mr. George Floyd's death weeks ago, people across North America are taking a stand that black lives matter. Of course, police brutality cannot be condoned in any way. It is unacceptable under any circumstance. It's not acceptable that people of colour, including, in Canada, Indigenous people, are frequently victims of this brutality.

High-profile incidents like George Floyd's case also put a spotlight on the RCMP. Today, Nunavut is calling for a systemic review of the RCMP services provided to their territory. Understandably...

Thank you, Madam Chair. In regards to long-term care in Inuvik in regards to the 48 beds with the carry-over, the $1.446 million, where is that in this project and how is it going to affect my elders in my riding? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to bring it again. I really encourage my ECE Minister to bring this forward to FMB to try to find the extra funds that are needed. I am not going to use COVID-19. We can't use it for an excuse. I know that we are busy with it; we have all been busy. We need work in our communities, bottom line. That's going to create 40 to 50 jobs, take people off income support. It has a rippling effect right across the whole board, in regard to people able to pay their bills. If they could make sure that they bring it to FMB and give it a good, honest shot, I would...

Thank you, Madam Chair. That being said, I am asking the Minister of ECE: when is he going to bring it to FMB for approval, for the monies needed to finish for the tender, for the company that they are working with? When? Thank you.
