Thank you, Madam Speaker. I appreciate that, but I mean if we have an open RFP process but there's only run landlord, it's pretty much guaranteed where it's going, so kind just a comment.

An issue we hear time and again as MLAs is the lack of land that is available for development in the North. So what is the department and the Minister doing to work with GNWT colleagues on getting that land transferred to the cities or the communities for development? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I appreciate the deputy minister's response or sorry, the president's response. You know, I can't stress enough how often when I am talking with my constituents that are housing clients how really a lot of it, it comes down to how they feel they've been treated and often they feel that they have been disrespected or that there's been a rudeness. And I mean, I get that frontline workers also have a burnout and a a need to almost protect themselves in a way by having a little bit of a maybe a reserved or removed manner. However, I feel that, you know, it is critical...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Northview Real Estate Investment Trust, or REIT, was formed in 1986 by former GNWT civil servants that eventually evolved into a publiclytraded company allowing individual investors to buy shares in real estate portfolios. Northview holds thousands of residential and commercial units in Yellowknife and Iqaluit. Sources vary on how much they own, but it's estimated to be between 50 to 80 percent of the rental market.

In 2018, 28 percent of Northview's operating income was derived in northern Canada. REITs are recognized as financialized landlords and the...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks for that answer. And I guess to the I'm assuming that with an apprenticeship program that it's not always tied specifically to the employer but is an overarching program, and I see people nodding their heads "yes", so that's that's good. I guess that was where my concern is.

I'm just looking at the training and support workshops line. You know, there's only the 2,000 spent in 20202021 and then, you know, back up to 250 I'm assuming that these are these numbers are so low because of COVID? Could the Minister confirm that, from the 20202021 actuals? Thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, I think that this could play a really large piece back into sort of more of the traditional economy and such and then as well as providing those supplies. And I just see that I feel that our fur and our crafts and all of that is just a really untapped resource for the territory that we need to be looking at more. So I guess I just want to say that I support seeing more expansion of this type of a program and then along the lines of what my colleagues were saying around the tanning and such and the ability to produce hides that we talked about the other day. So more...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I just have some questions about the fair marketing revolving fund. I note that there's a 1,500 a year sorry, 1.5 million a year authorized limit. Is that a sorry, yeah, is that a cap that's based solely on, like, supply? Or could we actually look to increase this, or would we then be looking at a draw down of animals and such that it's not sustainable? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess just further along these lines, has there ever actually been incidents of caribou or wildlife being harassed by drilling companies that have been charged or that the Minister is aware of? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I guess sorry, just one sec here. So under the in the grants contributions transfer, the water regulatory line there, is that just sort of a status quo amount, so that's not that they're like, you're not developing new ones, that money's not going to new development; it's more just for the application of the regulatory guidelines? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I wish to table a document entitled "Mind and Spirit: Promoting Mental Health and Addictions Recovery in the Northwest Territories Child and Youth Mental Wellness Action plan 2017 2022". Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yeah, that's fine; I do recognize that it's a complex situation. As I spoke to earlier in this session, constituents want to see social programming available on site in their building such was the model at YWCA's Rockhill House. So is the department working to identify spaces within existing leases and buildings to be used for integrated service delivery and social programming? Thank you.
