Thank you, Madam Chair. Is this the end of the work for the North Arm Park, or is it expected to continue into 20252026? Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can the Minister or department tell me how much of this money is staying with northern businesses? It is my understanding that the engineers on this project are not BIP'd or northern businesses. Can the Minister or department speak to that. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I think I just wanted to ask a little bit about the Canol Trail and the emergency shelters. I am not super familiar with where this is at, but I did know at one point there was a lot of remediation that was still left around the Canol Trail. Without, you know, asking for too much detail, is that coming to completion to the point where the Canol Trail is going to be more of a tourism destination or, you know, have more areas opened up as a result of remediation? I know there was a lot of challenges remediating it because it's very inaccessible to heavy equipment so a...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm just, sorry, trying to franticly scroll through my notes here. But I just wanted to talk a little bit about the Inuvik airport, the Mike Zubko air terminal building, the runway extension project, and the adaptation for climate change. It's my understanding that these projects have come in under sorry, I'm just looking, the trade corridor no, these are the DND. Can the Minister confirm that these are all being 100 percent funded by the federal government? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I guess it's just one of these areas where I don't see it like as being kind of one department or the other. Given that most of the parks do come off of the main transportation routes or evacuation routes, it makes sense that we would be looking to double up and put that kind of infrastructure in those locations.

I'm not sure if this is where it would fall under, but I know that over time in the chair, your own region, there's been questions around the pullouts and such along the InuvikTuk Highway and whether or not there was going to be any sort of facilities or...

Yeah, that would make sense. I guess my concern is what is our contingency plan should NTPC, in all of their infinite wisdom, struggle to find a solution here to what is going on and then we have all these supply chain challenges that are only continuing to get worse as we have disruptions to services through fires and other and flooding and other events? I'm very, very concerned that this is being left in NTPC's hands and that at some point, the diesel plant will fall into the river, or at least become unusable and unsafe, and there will be no LNG plant to replace it. So are we going to then...

Thank you. The Minister has my empathy with that as I worked at Giant Mine and dealt with the houseboat that was sitting in the mouth of Baker Creek for over a decade as well as we are all aware of the ones that were off of the point there at Rotary Park. So I'm hoping the city's going to get that harbour plan going that's been talked about for the last decade but that's not this Minister's problem. So thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair; it's been a long week. That's pretty broad, in 2022, and just makes me think that perhaps it was not communicated to us properly in the last sitting, what was actually going on with this project. I struggle to see why we are continuing to waffle or go back and forth on what's happening here given that, really, our increased flooding and climate change driven emergencies are likely going to mean that that diesel plant where it is now is no longer going to be useable. Can the Minister or the department speak to the fact of why a decision was made not to move to full LNG...

Thank you. I'm willing to take that at a later date if the Minister could provide me with a bit of the details around the planned work. I would assume that some of that is still being figured out, but as much as I could get ahead of time, that would be great. I definitely know this will be a concern to people in the upcoming election, and they are going to want to know what use is. And I guess I just want to take the time to make a plug on behalf of my constituents and advocate for the whatever happens there, replacement or repair, that there is a portion of the dock that remains accessible...

Madam Chair, I think it would be very remiss if we didn't talk with this motion about the incidences that we have seen over the last while in some of our schools, which includes some pretty disturbing video footage that was shot in the community of Fort Simpson. I did not see anything in that video that showed a traumainformed or culturallyappropriate approach.

And giving in watching that video, it was very disturbing to see that there was comments being made, and in contact with the family afterwards, they told me that their child no longer wants to go to school and very much spoke to me...
