Thanks, Madam Chair. Are these courses open to NGOs, non-governmental organizations, and their staff? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. First, let's establish the position of this government. Does this Cabinet support a national pharmacare program? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can the Minister tell me, the text here describing the activity talks about how this is, "Local governance capacity building through partnerships with government departments, Indigenous governments and territorial organizations, professional associations, and educational institutes," but it doesn't really clearly say: are the courses that are offered here open to Indigenous government employees? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Mr. Speaker, your Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures is pleased to provide its report on the Chief Electoral Officer's Report on the Administration of the 2019 Territorial General Election. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nahendeh, that Committee Report 9-19(2) be deemed read and printed in Hansard in its entirety. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Yes. That's good to know. Is there money in the budget for the actual evaluation? Is the money in the 2021-2022 Main Estimates for this evaluation of the 911 program? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. Tomorrow, years of advocacy, consultation, and study will culminate in a vote in the federal Parliament on creation of a national pharmacare program. Bill C-213 is a rare private Member's bill that actually makes it to the floor. The Canada Pharmacare Act is based on the recommendations of the Hoskins Advisory Council and modelled on the Canada Health Act. Like our national medicare program, the Canada Pharmacare Act specifies the conditions that provincial and territorial prescription drug insurance programs must meet to receive federal funding. This includes...

Thanks, Madam Chair. Okay, and I'm looking at the annual report. I can see that there is a revenue shortfall for 2019-2020 of about $425,000, roughly. That money, is it coming out of the consolidated revenue fund, essentially? Is that the source of the money? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Nothing further, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. This is going to be the last comment for me. I am hoping that the Premier is listening because I do not know what the problem is with departments bringing forward legislation. Yes, 14 years to develop changes to the Property Assessment and Taxation Act, four-plus years for bringing the amendments to the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act to cover municipal governments, even start with the city, towns and villages, this is just totally unacceptable. I just do not understand why we as a government cannot move forward with legislation more quickly. I got...

Thanks, Madam Chair. Yes, okay. I see that the physical activity, sport, and recreation fund, that is the lottery money in and out. Somehow, I'm trying to reconcile that against the annual report financial statements, which are the most complicated I think I've ever seen in my life, almost. These financial reports from the annual report are somehow represented here on page 360? Is that correct? Thanks, Madam Chair.
