Regardless, Mr. Speaker, Tlicho region should be identified. Mr. Speaker, what are the barriers to making Tlicho an administrative region? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will again like to bring attention to the importance of creating a Tlicho region.

Mr. Speaker, currently, the GNWT is divided the Northwest Territories GNWT is divided into five regions. They are the Deh Cho, North Slave, Delta, and South Slave region. Then the population of the North Slave region is 23,144. The population of the Deh Cho is 2,073 while the Sahtu region is 2,500. If the Tlicho is carved out of the North Slave region, the population would be 2,650. Mr. Speaker, let me point out that if Tlicho region was created, the population would be...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The reason why I ask that is that because in the NWT we have a good system in place, you know, for societies. But when it comes to corporations for profit, we don't have any information. We don't know who owns what businesses, etcetera, and there's no requirement. And I just wanted to know why, you know. So what is the purpose of keeping this information private? How do we ensure many of these business owners or these businesses are truly living and working in the NWT? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my Member's statement is regarding the corporate registries division of the Department of Justice.

Mr. Speaker, first of all, I would like to compliment the Department of Justice's corporate registries division for the accessibility of information of all societies registered in the NWT. Each society's constitution, financial statements, and list of directors' information is available to all simply by accessing the information for a modest fee. However, Mr. Speaker, when it comes to corporations, the access to important information is not available. The...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, I will take him up on his offer and meet with him to discuss this further. So no more comment. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, will the Minister commit to following the best practices of other jurisdictions and ensure that the ownership of all privatelyheld corporations is made known through access through the corporate registry search? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge Minister Vandal. And I'm sure he I know he has they have a good working relationship with the Tlicho government. And I just want to acknowledge him that he is here in Denendeh and that I want to ask just let him know that we do you know, like, one of the questions that I was going to ask was that, okay, we have a lot of aging infrastructure in Tlicho region as well. We need a new school and a water and sewer line. I'm sure he probably heard from the community government of Behchoko. So I just wanted to, you know, to say that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, where does this government get their money from? From the federal government. So therefore he can ask the federal government, probably not this one or whoever, but to commit that if we can if they can billion or help us billion a school. So I'm just asking the federal  the Minister of education, wherever they're getting their money from, to ask those government to help us billion a school in Behchoko. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I want to talk about trust. We are in a mental health crisis. The NWT has some of the highest rates of substance abuse and intimate partner violence in Canada. Young people are losing their lives to suicide.

In October of last year, we passed a motion on suicide prevention, asking for each region to have $250,000. This is $1.75 million for our youth, families, and communities. This represents seven regions, including Tlicho. It is upsetting because this government said no and decided to ignore the motions to provide additional support for our young...

Thank you. I know that to revive our language, it is important for all of us in small communities and I know that there's great effort made in, like in Yellowknife. But I'm not too sure about I know all of the all of our language are in danger, according to the report that I heard. So I'm just wondering, like, if communities like Hay River, I just want to know and ask whether the I think there's the Dene Zhatie and Denesoline. There's a lot of, you know, people living in that area speaking those language. So I just want to know how effective is the school promoting these language? I'm...
