Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, my next question is in regards to the inclusive schooling line item. That line item seems to stay quite consistent year after year. And from what I'm hearing from parents, even in Kam Lake, there are a lot of concerns about, you know, where kids are finding themselves after COVID and a lot of kids who didn't receive assessments that they would have received before they aged out of the system, a lot more challenges with kids falling behind in school, and just a real need for more inclusive schooling supports. And so I'm wondering why that line item...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, to confirm, the changes to allowing homebased businesses in public housing will follow and be included in the suite of policy changes to come out April 1st? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am going to wait for questions on additional key activities. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. No. And I appreciate the direction providing communities with the autonomy of being able to decide what their own program looks like and what is best in a communitydriven manner. I agree with that and appreciate that and I, you know, look forward to hearing some success stories from these programs. My concern is not about how the department is running the program. My concern is strictly in regards to who has access to that program. And, you know, running a program like this in five communities out of 33 and then having $17,000 left over for 28 additional...

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. And my next question is this work and this position best placed within the Department of Justice, or would it make more sense for this position and this work to be placed within EIA if it is if the intent is an allofgovernment approach that needs some teeth in order to move people in that direction? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So at the end of this fiscal year, we'll go from five programs being supported to three programs being supported. Is the intent to open the funding back up then to two more communities, or what is the intent for the next fiscal year for the men's healing fund? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, in regards to the work that needs to be done to do this soul searching on this plan that might not be used, is there a staff member dedicated to this work, or staff members dedicated to this work, and if so, where within the main estimates do they live? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Committee understands that Northerners have little choice about imposing a carbon tax:

If the GNWT does not impose the tax, the federal government will.

But the madeintheNWT approach does give us a choice on how to spend revenues from the carbon tax. Unfortunately, the government’s chosen approach leaves some households, most businesses, and all community governments, Indigenous governments, and NGOs worse off or at least treated very differently from the large emitters.

In November, Finance released a projection of carbon tax revenues and a breakdown of the associated...

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And, Madam Chair, I wanted to talk about integrated case management as well. And I appreciate that my colleague to my left asked some of the questions that I had as well. But it actually led to a little bit of confusion for me.

So I get that ICM is kind of a team of pathfinders that then go and take people kind of from door to door of government departments to help them access all the services they might need whereas integrated service delivery doesn't use pathfinders because the whole idea there is breaking down the silos between departments so that you don't...

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm aware of Indigenousled renewable energy projects that can't go ahead because of this 20 percent cap that NTPC currently has. While our energy strategy commits us to reduce emissions from diesel power generation in communities by 18 kilotons every year by 2030, we are turning down proposals for renewable projects.

So can the Minister commit to make changes to the policy so that NTPC will work with any business or community that bring forward green energy projects even if they are above the 20 percent cap? Thank you.
