Thank you, Madam Chair. Thanks for those answers, and I'm good for right now. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you for that. Thank you, Madam Chair. And I'm super happy that we have all these ologies that we provide to our residents.

I'm not sure if you have this number, but can you kind of out of that -- you know, it's a fairly significant increase obviously to that line item, and you mentioned forced growth and you mentioned the medical association new contract. Does the Minister have kind of a breakdown of what kind of made up the majority of that increase? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

So no cuts to positions, then, and no positions that weren't -- that were vacant then, that aren't being filled; can I just get clarity on that.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Madam Chair. And thank you for that. And, yes, and I realize we're on this key activity. I'll hold my questions on the compensation and benefits until we get through the other activities, and now I've given them lots of time to prepare that answer as well. Nothing further, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, my questions are around compensation and benefits, and I could just be confused. It's possible. But given that we had an increase in our union contract but looking at this activity and all the activities throughout, I do notice that the main estimates are lower in each case than the revised estimates for 2024-2025. I'm just wondering if I'm missing anything there, Madam Chair; if there's positions that are no longer there or if we've gotten rid of positions that were no longer filled. If I can get some kind of an explanation on that. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 43)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, it's been a day, so I'm going to lob one over the plate for my honourable colleague across the way, the Minister of Infrastructure, so she can knock it out of the park, Mr. Speaker. Will she commit to paving the Inuvik Bypass Road during the completion of the Inuvik runway expansion? Thank you.
