Thank you, Madam Chair. I am good, thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the priorities for the 19th Legislative Assembly is to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This declaration establishes a framework of standards for survival, dignity, and the well-being of Indigenous people around the world. In the colonial state of Canada, systems were put in place during the formation of the country that mainly benefit the European or white settler. When a process or organization has racism embedded in its very structure, this is known as systemic or institutional racism. Systemic racism is often found...

Thank you, Madam Chair. That gives me more confidence than other times in other departments where it was like, "Well, we have just put this number there," so I am glad to hear it's a good solid estimate. I am just looking at the legal aid clinics and the Legal Aid Commission, and I would assume that the legal aid clinics is the line item, the $3.2 million, that covers the actual provision of legal aid services to residents. What mechanism do people have to go back if they should have found that they were not given good legal aid services or advice? Is there a mechanism for them to then recoup...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Can the Minister explain how the department liaises with national NGOs or organizations such as the Canadian Liver Foundation to ensure that Northerners can maximize the supports and services they offer but also so that we can contribute to ongoing research? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just quickly to go back to the Arctic Energy Alliance information that was provided by the ADM, if we could perhaps get some of that in writing? It was really quite quick, so I would like to hear sort of the number of audits they have done, that kind of thing. I perhaps, probably, have that information somewhere and not just at my hand, so thank you for that. My specific question is around the Northern Transportation Adaptation Initiative, which had to do with work at the ITH, Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway. It was a study that was a contribution to the University of...

Thank you, Madam Chair, for the two definitions of what Arctic Energy Alliance is. Perhaps, next time, we could just keep the answer a little bit shorter because I only get so much time. The reason I was asking the question is I do want to know if the Minister has explored looking at a training program through Arctic Energy Alliance to help increase the capacity of the non-governmental organizations in order to be able to expand or continue to implement their programming better. I know that they have quite a good group of technical experts at the alliance. However, it seems that they at times...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm a nerd. I like data. I'd take that, if you don't mind providing that; that would be great. I have a question now. Sorry, I'm jumping around a little bit, to the Petroleum Products Revolving Fund on page 257. I would also like a suggestion that we make our page numbers larger, going forward. With the Petroleum Products Revolving Fund, I note that we still are carrying an accumulated deficit at the beginning of the year of $1 million. I'm just curious to know, and I always struggle with wrapping my head around this one: have we paid off the extra debt that was...

Just to clarify that a little bit further: any of the money that was spent earlier on in the COVID situation, such as a year ago, March, April, to get everybody working from home, that would also be captured under COVID secretariat costs, not Infrastructure? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Just to confirm, that being the 2021-2022 fiscal year, the upcoming one? Okay. When I look at the charter costs for the 2019-2020 actuals, we lose money on the charters. Is the department looking at, perhaps, re-evaluating, as part of the governance model evaluation, whether or not MTS should be doing charters in the first place? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. With that being said, perhaps things are maybe not quite so drastic as they may have gone. Does the department anticipate that we would see any revenues from charters in the upcoming year? Thank you, Madam Chair.
