Thank you, Mr. Chair. I agree with all the comments made. Looking back, and I also appreciate this was a very delicate subject with many involved and opinioned by other stakeholders and the public, but when I come back to my conclusion as an individual and the riding I represent -- who, by the way do not have a road and all-weather roads -- so it's either fly-in or drive-in for portions of the season, or take a long boat ride. We rely heavily on air travel.

I'm taking that into consideration as well as my colleagues on the high cost of living. I look at the discussions we had. I got to fly home...

When can we expect a draft schedule so we can respectively assist in the consultation with the stakeholders in our respective areas?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I apologize for not giving heads-up notice to the Minister of Lands, but it's a continuation on the same similar subject. I am really not too sure when the acts were developed, but one was mirrored from devolution. Is the Department of Lands having some preliminary discussions with the stakeholders out there who have claims or leases in preparation for the amendments to the act? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today is marked as International Women's Day, a day to recognize women's achievements and acknowledge the challenges they face continuously in the quest for gender equality.

The missing and murdered Aboriginal and Indigenous women are our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, aunties, nieces, cousins, partners, and wives, and they are missed and honoured every day.

The roles of the many women and girls are at the centre of our families and communities must be honoured and restored respectfully.

Mr. Speaker, I for one, would like to recognize my mother, Mary McNeely, a...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In the spirit of raising revenues, what sort of consultation or feedback, to make you feel comfortable, on the revenue portion that you have heard, from the current vendors and the enterprise or business community gives you confidence that these sales are where they are at? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I welcome the information coming from the Minister's office here. At the time of receiving the material, I will get back to the Minister of further questions. In preparation to do so, is the Minister willing to put together a package of information so I can also share that with the leadership of the region I represent?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Following up on my Members’ statement here addressed to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. When students are away from their home and not well connected, to hear some of the many opportunities or the developments of potential opportunities, is there information or career readiness sessions that are in-house in the Fort Smith residential unit where they reside in or at the school itself? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I had the opportunity to visit almost all 25 students in the Sahtu region attending post-secondary or upgrading technical schooling in Fort Smith.

Mr. Speaker, in recognition of this resource as our next workforce, mentoring and future life skills counselling contributes to the graduation success rate of the youth.

Mr. Speaker, ECE is working in partnership with Aurora College in publication of a renewed labour market development and implementing the first year of the Skills 4 Success.

Mr. Speaker, this Assembly continues to advocate for higher youth graduation candidates...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too would like to recognize Shirley Kisoun, a good friend of the family. Welcome to the House. Thank you.

I’m glad to hear that there are supports there. My next question, Mr. Speaker, is: can the Minister provide me with minutes of the sessions if they are in fact going on, we may have some contributing dialogue or input to what we think that the students might want to hear from opportunities back home?
