Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if I can request on returning to the number 6, recognition of visitors in the gallery. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With the experiences that I accumulated over the number of years fighting fire there way back when I can't remember, it's been so long here; we had rubber boots in those days. And to see the climate change and the very likelihood of having forest fires in our territory every summer is very likely to happen. So in short, I'll be supporting this motion on the spirit of management, efficiencies, and responses to protect our homes. We only got to look at the community of Enterprise, Mr. Speaker, the losses there and the effects and the costly effects for that matter, Mr...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm confident that proper planning was taking place here when we look at the wellness centre allowance there, capital allowance for Deline, Fort Good Hope, and the health and social services centre in Tulita, construction of level B. It tells me these seasonal access communities, in particular the under construction building in Tulita, has allowed for some capital to purchase and spend some costs and the transportation of those purchases over the winter road. So I just point that out to the Minister, and I have every confidence that this capital will be best utilized...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Will the Minister provide me an update on the capital available to that facility. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too would like to recognize translator Lillian Elias. It was always cheerful to see her smiley face in the last couple Assemblies. She will be greatly missed. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I got nothing further. Thanks for the opening of the facility targets there, Minister. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thanks to the Minister. I look forward to that information, and I'll go from there. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Capital-related facilities, such as what's on this page here, sport, recreation and youth, are part of the recreational facility in Fort Good Hope at the arena. And can the Minister explain if there's any discussions going on with the finished portion of the facility to bring it back into operation? I know there's some integral question to the structure and so on, but I also understand some work has been done and some planning has been done. So I just want a status update and if this is going to be a portion of the capital for that project, as part of this capital. Thank...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the week prior, I participated in the Mackenzie Valley Highway promotional reception in Ottawa which was sponsored by the Department of Infrastructure and the Sahtu Secretariat Incorporated. The event was well attended by our Premier, Cabinet, Members of the Council of Leaders, Western Arctic MP Minister Alty, federal Ministers, and designated staff and other distinguished guests. The event was well attended and distinguished by its unique focus on infrastructure needs. The federal government's directive on critical minerals and the advancement of nation...

That's it, thank you, Madam Chair.
