Just one quick follow-up, Mr. Speaker. I heard a "trying to commit" in there, so just to ensure that we did get a commitment from the Minister to ensure that that does get paved in this Assembly -- or chip sealed.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank the Minister for that. That is certainly positive news that I'm sure the residents will be happy to hear. Knowing that we are still in the design phase, although this long-term care has certainly been kicking around for a few years now, can the Minister speak to, you know, if she's -- how confident she is that we can get this in the capital plan and get this rolling prior to the end of this Assembly, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of health.

As she's aware, residents of Inuvik have been advocating for a CT scan up there for several years now. I understand there is an RFP either out or going out for a schematic design on this. Can the Minister update the House, please, on that RFP. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I move the chair rise and report progress.

Thank you. I haven't moved. Music to my ears, Mr. Speaker. Infrastructure partnership, sovereignty. And, listen, I know that this Premier's keen to that. I know there's work being done. A lot of the information I get, Mr. Speaker, is from the mayors in my region, mayors in other regions, and from the Indigenous leaders. I wonder can the Premier commit to providing some information to this House -- even a one-pager, Mr. Speaker, I'm not asking to write a full presentation -- around the work that's been going on and continues to go on around Arctic sovereignty, something that I can share with my...

Me first out of the gate. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, following up on my Member's statement, my questions are for the Premier. Can the Premier confirm that we have departmental representation at the Arctic security working group that's happening on November 5th and 6th. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we'd all want more for our constituencies. We know that. We know, Mr. Speaker, that the reality is there is only so much revenue to go around. You know, you talk to each Member, and they'll tell you that, you know, obviously, they want more. There's infrastructure needs. There's program needs for the regions as well. And, obviously, we've seen our fiscal sustainability drastically reduced, mainly because this side of the House and in cooperation with Cabinet, fought last year to get the $150 million for housing that we required. And, yes, it may not be...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, committee wishes to review Committee Report 29-20(1), Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Committee Project: Housing as a Human Right. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm certainly happy to hear that given the importance of sovereignty and the conversations that are happening around our sovereignty, Mr. Speaker.

Can the Premier speak a little to our engagement strategy as it stands today, initiatives around our engagement strategy on sovereignty with the federal government and the Department of National Defence. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to draw attention to the House of an event happening next week in Yellowknife, the Arctic security working group being held in Yellowknife at the Joint Task Force North on November 5th and 6th, Mr. Speaker. To build relationships, nurture partnerships, and identify opportunity for collaboration is their aim, Mr. Speaker, to continue discussion around Operation NANOOK and continue information sharing between member stakeholders and the Arctic security working group.

The theme for the two days is shared infrastructure with DND, especially in the...
