Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, the Member is right. In the previous Assembly, there was a change made in regulation that made it a requirement that parents were involved in this decision-making. And that's a relationship and a conversation that happens right from the child's school to the family. And so it's the teacher and the school-based support team that participate together with the family to ensure that they have all of the decisions and all of the options in front of them as well as the details of the child's individualized education plan so that together those decisions can...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, I can commit to following up with our federal partners on this and making sure that we're updating the online library. I am apprehensive to kind of carve off a GNWT piece and potentially run into a scenario where we're duplicating work because as the Member for Frame Lake alluded to, we have a lot of work ahead of us so I want to make sure that we're not being redundant. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, these numbers are put together in the fall and, as we know, life continues to change, so it can be very difficult right now to predict where diamond markets are going to go. Likely, it will most likely be lower. And also included in that is Norman Wells for Imperial Oil. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we're talking about the NWT resident workers in there. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the ask for funding for the Hay River fish plant operations is $2.9 million in this budget. So it is for the FFMC contract that we have. And so we work with FFMC to manage the plant for us. We are currently in the process of, one, making sure that the plant has all of its required certifications, and we can do the exporting that we have been long working toward. So we have an RFP out to work on a plan to divest the plant as well. And part of that work that needs to be done is also showing the success of the plant, so making sure that we are working to build...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, over the course of this term and the previous term, this was an issue and a concern that Members have consistently raised, and so I want to thank Members of the 19th and 20th Assembly for continuing to raise this concern.

We've introduced a standardized grade transition process. It's territory-wide so that there is a standard process that's followed with teachers across the territory in how grade transitions occur. And this is critical in ensuring that we're also not only treating those grade transitions the same way but also making sure that we're...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Member is right to allude to the fact that the federal government is ultimately responsible for the reporting on that tracking and that that is currently behind. This is one of the items that would be captured under our MOU with the federal government because we -- I absolutely agree with the Member that we need to make sure that we're seeing traction at these tables and that that traction is publicly reported. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the engagements that still have to happen around the territory still exist. It really enabled participation and meaningful participation from Indigenous governments, which is key to projects in the territory, as well as the fact that we co-draft our legislation and our regulations in the Northwest Territories. So a tremendous amount of work has been done. It certainly is taking time. But this is a leading piece of legislation in Canada, not just the Northwest Territories. We are co-drafting how we are going to develop land in the territory from a...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, I will start on this one, and then I'd like to see if the deputy minister would like to add. I think what the Member is looking for are the annual socio-economic agreement reports that are produced every year. And so those would show more of that trending information that the Member is looking for. Within the business plans themselves, we have a very small box to be able to put information in, and so a lot more of that more detailed information is found within those annual reports.

One of the pieces in this entire conversation is those socio...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the Member is absolutely right. Through conversations with film producers in the territory, I believe one of those conversations even was -- I was -- both the Member and I were present at, was just about the success of the program and how it really helped transition projects from an idea and from an idea potentially on paper to an idea that was all of a sudden on a screen in front of all of us. And so it was -- the picture was painted by multiple producers in the territory and people within the film industry, what kind of significant role that...
