Thank you, Madam Speaker. The process of land transfers to municipal governments is not working. It prevents municipal governments from having the authority and autonomy to make timely land use decisions within municipal boundaries and impedes business development. In addition, YKDFN is now trading land with the City of Yellowknife, essentially removing the GNWT from the process.

Twenty-five years ago, MACA helped community governments develop land use plans and administered lands within municipal boundaries. MACA has long since devolved the responsibility for developing community land use...

Thanks very much, Mr. Chair. Would the Minister be prepared to make a commitment to personally see what type of budget is allocated to the traditional counsellors within our corrections facilities in the Northwest Territories?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There are a number of people who work within corrections facilities who are not necessarily corrections officers, so I am wondering if there is any kind of professional development fund for people who are not corrections officers, who may require safety training because they work within the facility? Our corrections officers undergo six to eight weeks of training for safety and how to do their job, so other people who may come into contact with inmates, is there any kind of professional development training for those people? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Let me know if this is not the correct place to ask this question, but I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to if there is a budget for professional leadership development for corrections officers within our correctional facilities. Does it fall under this page? Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regards to the 45 percent that are from outside Yellowknife, do they have to be located within the capital at the time that they're receiving services to get help from ICM, or are they able to seek assistance over the phone, or through somebody located in a community? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if the Minister can also speak to the first line item, community justice, and indicate in a little bit more detail, the increase of a million dollars under that line item. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister tell me what the additional amount that the GNWT stands to collect from unauthorized land occupancy would be?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to the significant increase in travel for the Department of Justice under the community justice and policing section? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm just looking here at page 284, which indicates that there are three additional positions going into headquarters. I'm wondering if the Minister can explain to me what the positions are. Thank you.

I am wondering if local Indigenous governments are supportive of land-transfer initiatives within the City of Yellowknife.
