Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in November 2016 the NWT Information and Privacy Commissioner received a complaint about the way the NWT Housing Corporation was collecting personal income to calculate rents for public housing tenants. The complaint was about a new policy making tenants give housing authorities permission to collect income and other information directly from the Canada Revenue Agency. Some tenants didn't want to provide direct access to their tax records. They asked for alternatives, such as continuing to report income on the basis of submitted documents. They were told there...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Standing Committee on Social Development had the opportunity to visit a place called Guthrie House at the Nanaimo Correctional Centre. It is a therapeutic community within a corrections setting. I know the Minister has been there as well. I wonder if he could give us an update on the planning that is taking place to pilot a model such as Guthrie House within the NWT corrections? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would appreciate hearing from the Minister about this, whether the training has been scheduled or has already been delivered in the NWT on consent case law. Further, I'd be interested to know whether the expanded review of closed sexual assault cases will be implemented here in the NWT as well. Thank you.

The name of this document is Oral Question 10-18(3): Emergency Protection Orders, and it's dated November 23, 2017.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, just before Christmas, the RCMP announced at the national level that they were going to expand their review of closed sexual assault cases and increase training to address gaps in police knowledge of consent. I'm wondering if the Minister can tell us what the local implications, NWT implications, are of these initiatives? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, in a letter the Minister sent in November in response to an oral question I asked, he said that there was a study called "An Initiative to Investigate Effectiveness of Emergency Protection Orders in the NWT." This is continued research funded by the Family Violence Initiative Fund administered by the RCMP National Crime Prevention Services. That's the project I'm referring to. I'm wondering if the Minister can give us any detail on when we're going to see the results of this, and what will happen with the results from a departmental perspective. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Given that the complement of family law practitioners is now at full strength, how long do you think it will take to reduce the waiting time to six weeks? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I just wanted to be sure that this is the right segment of the budget to discuss EPOs. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a couple of questions that follow on from that answer, which I appreciate. The first is: what is the definition of "urgent" in this context? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, a new radio station started broadcasting to the world this week from the heart of Yellowknife Centre when Cabin Radio signed on yesterday with its first program. I was delighted to be in their studio for this historic occasion.

Cabin Radio exists as an online station, livestreaming on the Internet through the labours of six people. Programming and news leader Ollie Williams is joined by program host, Jesse Wheeler, from 7:00 to 9:00 and Shannon Moore, who is hosting the afternoon show from noon to 4:00. Ollie has the 9:00 to noon spot, and the evening drive show...
