Yeah, thank you very much, Madam Chair. And this is not a comment only directed at the health minister but I think all Ministers, is I think we really need to have a better idea of what supports Jordan's Principle is applying to the GNWT because I think that it is far greater than any of us actually realizes. And my concern is if those supports disappear, we will be really struggling in our territory. So I think it's important that we have an idea of what that dollar figure is. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much for that, Madam Chair. That was a very helpful differentiation.

I'm wondering if the Minister can let us know how many youth in care that this $44 million serves and how many youth it serves who are under voluntary service agreement, just for numbers purposes. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I wanted to ask some questions about the medical travel benefits. This is something that I know has come up quite a bit over the course of the term, and my understanding is this is quite common. And the focus of the questions largely have been around the amount that is offered to residents when it comes to medical travel, especially with the sorry, in especially in relation to per diems for the cost for food and the cost for accommodations.

One of the issues that has come up and was highlighted was specific to the or the additional cost of...

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm seeing that there is a decrease a small decrease but still a decrease in funding to child and family services. And I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to why we're seeing a slight decrease here and what's fuelling that? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And thank you for that. Likely, you know, we'll have that opportunity. I'm wondering if the Minister can also identify what is the cost per bed that Stanton Legacy uses for longterm care clients and the cost per bed that they use for extended care facilities? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And I'm happy that the Minister was able to read my mind because I just realized I gave him zero context about what we're speaking about. So just for Hansard, we're talking about Giant Mine. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I'm wondering if the Minister can provide some clarity as to what rate these work hours are going to southern workers because of available northern workers are either being underbid versus there being no NWT bidders? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to recognize my page, Paige Hawthorne, who has joined us here in the House this week from Kam Lake and thank her for all of her hard work. Thank you.

Mahsi, Madam Chair. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment at this time. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I wanted to ask now about some funding that's been moved around, and I just was wondering if the Minister can help me understand it.

But the Labour Market Development Agreement has moved from fund one to fund three, and I'm unsure what this means and so I'm wondering if the Minister can explain this to me? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm wondering if the SNAP apprentices also come out of here?
