Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm surprised my colleague from Frame Lake didn't ask it. Is there any update on renaming the Prince of Wales Heritage Centre, and maybe we could consider asking the Prince of Wales to pay for that $170 million upgrade if he wants to keep his name on it. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Maybe I just have to step back because I don't understand fully. I see that TSC collects $32 million a year in chargebacks. So we spend $32 million a year providing itself internet through the TSC. I heard that we're spending a couple three more million to improve that network. And I guess my question is I don't care what Northwestel is doing. I care what we are doing to our infrastructure. Do we believe with that additional money that the internet that the school system gets will be improved and capable of online learning following this? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have an oddly specific question. So here under ECE, it lists that we're you guys are paying TSC $4 million. Then when I go to the Infrastructure chargeback for ECE, it says $5.5 million. Does anyone have an explanation for why there's a $1.5 million difference? And I suspect perhaps it might be that the school boards also charge back TSC, and that's not showing up here but I may be wrong on that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess from my perspective, I don't really care whether a department pays Infrastructure for it back. Can I just get a how much that DCN contract costs? Thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. I remember when they built the new government building, there was a lot of talk that, you know, the energy efficiency of this and it's cheaper to own the build, and I'm sure in order to build it the rent verse own analysis was done. And I'm just wondering, you know, whether we have any plans to build other commercial office space? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I see that the TSC is here, and I believe there are a couple of initiatives to increase the bandwidth and internet speed across the territory. I guess can I get an update on that work? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I see that there's $955,000 here for debt repayment. I believe can I just get an explanation of what that is? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yeah, I think there's a lot of work that could be done in opening up the Liquor Act, and I think one of the big areas that I would like to see is delegating some more powers to communities and I think they could set things such as store hours, whether they want a store, whether they want to set limits on how much alcohol can be sold, how alcohol can be served at festivals and events, how licences can be obtained. There's actually I'd basically like to give the whole act to communities, Mr. Speaker. But I'm wondering if in the planned changes that we are hoping to get...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And then I also in this kind of realm of who does what, there's a capital plan coming forward and this year's this budget's capital plan doesn't build any new houses, but it does quite a bit of major retrofits. My understanding is that major retrofits is the decided by headquarters in their capital plan, and then minor maintenance would be the responsible of the LHO. Can I just get a understanding of when maintenance belongs to an LHO verse would have to go through the headquarters capital planning process. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my statement today, I spoke about a number of possible changes to the Liquor Act. I guess one of my hopes is that in the Liquor Act, we will revisit the current liquor commission monopoly and perhaps looking at options of private stores or allowing beer and wine in grocery stores.
