Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I move that this committee recommends the Department of Education, Culture and Employment review the territorialbased support team function to ensure teachers and students receive the support they need in a way that meets the community’s needs and establish outcomefocused measures to determine if the team is achieving its goals. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. What I'd like to know is if these units that are incurring major retrofits, are they currently empty or are they currently being lived in. If they're empty, then I would assume this will reduce the wait time. And so I'm wondering if Mr. Martin can also speak to that. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment build a northernspecific model of coordinated wraparound services for NWT schools. Thank you.

Sure. Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, whenever we review the budgets for Housing Northwest Territories, I find that I get very frustrated. And one of the reasons for that is we never have a really good indication of what kind of investment we're making in housing and what specifically we're getting for that, especially when we're talking to residents of the Northwest Territories.

And so one example of that is if you look at the 20232024 Capital Estimates, the capital estimates were $35 million, 35 five, and then when you look at the revised estimates, all of a sudden we have 136...

Madam Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment draft aspirational legislation for its next iteration of the Education Act that takes a holistic, traumainformed, and culturally-responsive approach to education that is accountable to all NWT communities, its residents and, most of all, its youth. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Member for Inuvik Twin Lakes, that Committee Report 7219(2), Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Bill 75: Council for Women and Gender Diversity Act, be received and adopted by the Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the Standing Committee on Social Development has advocated for improvements to education in the Northwest Territories over the life of the Assembly. While Bill 81 represents just phase 1 of the department's proposed improvements to education, which focus on operational and administrative amendments, the committee, along with overwhelming public concurrence, was disappointed in the phased approach. The phased approach lacked a thorough engagement process in which to inform meaningful change to address the uneven and poor state of education in the territory.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your Standing Committee on Social Development is pleased to provide its report on Bill 75, Council for Women and Gender Diversity Act.

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Member for Great Slave, that Committee report 7219(2), Standing Committee on Social Development report on Bill 75: Council for Women and Gender Diversity Act, be deemed read and printed in Hansard in its entirety. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

A short question. Would the approval of this create room to pay for additional resident and business supports for people who are evacuated from the territory? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. So if one of the things that we're relying on in order to meet our targets is for mines to actually shut down but, on the other hand, we're going out, and we're proactively trying to get mines to open up and do more in the Northwest Territories, how are we ultimately going to reach this goal if all of a sudden one of our hands gets what it wants and it has a direct impact on the other hand? So I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to how we're actually going to support both development in the Northwest Territories and our energy and climate change goals and...
