Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And the Minister knows I'm a really big fan of the iterative process. So I'm glad to hear that, you know, we are looking at this as something that we are going to adapt and change as we get more feedback from the users of the system.

My last question I think just has to speak around Indigenous ownership. I believe there's been some information in the media around, you know, people sort of being window dressing as they take part in ceremonies and such but I think it's really important to clarify the record that the rare earth mine that is operating in the Northwest...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm super glad to hear the Minister speak about a coordinated approach and sort of being proactive with the players in the region given that I can't think of how many times I've heard oh, if we just knew that was going on, we would have jumped on board. So great to hear that the Minister's coordinating that.

Given that our dependence in the next while is going to be on metal mining as the diamond mines sunset, can the Minister speak to what is being done and how the GNWT is supporting the expansion or exploration for new metal mines? I can't stress enough...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Bill 48, Arbitration Act. Bill 48 is based on the Uniform Arbitration Act of 2016, referred to as the Model Act in this report. The Model Act was prepared by the Uniform Law Conference of Canada, an organization promoting uniformity of legislation in Canada.

The goal of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada is that jurisdictions adopt uniform or model acts to harmonize laws across the country through various forms of enactment, with changes related to drafting style with substantially the same wording, with modifications, or in part. The perception is that...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm just curious to know, I note that we have four projects here under the longterm care facility; three are in planning. One is actually, I'm guessing, into construction. Can I get an idea of how much is going towards the planning and how much is going towards that construction Thank you.

Thank you. So it's fair to say if we choose the location of the temporary shelter now, we would be looking to purchase the lot next to it and expand over that, sort of do a lot and I see a nodding so I don't bother to go back.

That being said, my question actually was around the geotech for the old visitors centre lot. It does kind of change now that I know that. But is there a potential to use old reports from when they were looking at the geotechnicals because the visitors centre was, you know, sinking or jacking up out of the ground, and I know they did some investigation at the time. So is...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Can the Minister commit to working with me to try and get the Aviation Innovations Conference to come here sometime in the next couple of years? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. And yes, I know I have not given the Minister a long time to mull over the possibilities of airships so I do appreciate that the department and the Minister is open to this. And I guess where I come from there's sort of twofold here, is that the airships could provide some transportation solutions for us but they are also an economic potential piece. And so can the Minister speak around whether or not she found that the applicability or the ability to attract this type of work as an economic arm or in the cold weather testing area, did she see that as being something...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I'm a bit blind so I'm not sure if there's nobody up there. Okay, I am just going to recognize the person who was here yesterday that I missed, and that was Twila I'm not going to say her name right Etchinelle, of Tulita, and I just wanted to say that I missed her and I'm sorry I did. Thank you.

Thank you for that. And I was being a little tongue and cheek, so I do appreciate the deputy minister and Minister indulging me.

I guess my last question is just around the oh, and I'm not going to say this right the park renewable energy retrofits that I can't say the first name of, in Inuvik. Thank you. If I could have some more information there. Thank you.

Thank you for that. I'm just curious to know, then, is that up out of the flood plain given what was happening with the river. Has that been all I'm assuming has all been taken into account but maybe if the Minister or her department could speak to that, that would be great. Thanks.
