Thank you, Madam Chair. Just one quick question, and it is I'd like to know I guess what the uptake is in the communities outside Yellowknife in like the trades and occupation wage subsidies and workforce development versus I guess in Yellowknife? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I'm pleased to see that, you know, that this is expanded to third and fourth years and also to women in trades. I think, you know, it's so important with the amount of work and the houses that we need in the territories and other things as well. So, you know, what I'm hoping is that, you know, if this this line item, if it's fully subscribed now and, you know, I'd look to like, I'd like to see us throw more money at it at some point and really push it because it's meaningful to people in the Northwest Territories.

The next point here is I just want to go to the...

Thank you, Madam Chair. And communicating I guess these changes to the, you know, to businesses and people that may be interested in the trades or occupations, how is that achieved? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I'd ask the Minister if the program is actually fully subscribed? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just looking at the trades and occupation wage subsidy, can the Minister I guess give me a breakdown, roughly, between the trades and I guess occupations, I suspect it's two different things, what the breakdown would be? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

The next one is the energy guide for houses. I see that again it's at $190,000 and then continuous. Has there been an uptake in that over the last two years considering people have been home and the increased cost of goods and building material and utilities as well? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess the next thing then is that, you know, we've got we've got MTS sitting there and whether it's we're fully utilizing their assets or not, would it make any sense to if we're paying for the assets and maintenance and that, would it make any sense to you know, not to bring it around from Washington over the top but continue to bring it down by rail for any cost savings? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess the first question is with respect to Arctic Energy Alliance, and I see that the funds there have been pretty stagnant there over the years. And I was just for new initiatives, one thing that somebody brought to my attention, I guess with the rising price of fuel for vehicles and that, is and which isn't on the list, is motorized bicycles which allow you to you know, to ride the bike and then coast for a while. Is there any chance of something like that being added? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to talk about the Petroleum Products Revolving Fund. And I understand that, you know, we buy some of our fuel; it comes down from through Alberta and down the Valley, and then we I think we pick some up on the Pacific Rim.

I'm just wondering I guess, you know, what's what is I guess what justifies bringing fuel over over from the Pacific Rim. I suspect that of course we're saving money. That's probably the bottom line. But is there anything else that pertains to it? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, will the Minister confirm if her department has considered the need for transitional housing supports to those clients returning home after receiving treatment in the South? Thank you.
