We're still on the community we're still on Cabinet support, because I'm looking at community allocation on page 129. So there's the headquarters. There's ten. But the active position here for the it's different, that's what I'm referring to.

Okay. Since we're still on this well, no regional allocations, Cabinet support, so community allocation, so headquarter regional offices. Where are these regional offices? Because it says six, is that in like, I know there's nothing in Tlicho because we're still part of the North Slave. So there's a South Slave. There's Dehcho. Sahtu. Are these jobs allocated in these regions?

And for compensation and benefits, okay, so that's a number of staff, that's the staff that we have here. Like, 89 in headquarters. So that represents that number, the budget? North Slave is four I mean, I'm just trying those are the one below is GSO.

Thank you. I know that, you know, there's not a major huge cuts across EIA but within the Cabinet's support, can the Minister explain or briefly explain what this Public Utility Board is because I think well, the budget stayed the same for last fiscal year, and actually, it went down a bit. So you explain what this Public Utility Board is? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is for the Minister of Justice. So has the GNWT considered legislation that would increase security at the border? Can we prevent people who are on bail in other jurisdictions from entering the NWT? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, he's very right in all the stuff that he just said. But Gameti needs a detachment.

The RCMP have also noted publicly there is an inability to hold offenders accountable. What can the GNWT do to assist the RCMP to hold offenders accountable? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to let the young people know the drug dealers and cartel do not care about them. With that in mind, the RCMP have been noted in the media saying they need a response unit. How can the GNWT support the RCMP to respond to the increase in drugs and crime with a response unit? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I want to tell the Minister to Make NWT Great Again.

Mr. Speaker, in small communities, many parents are complaining about young people on income support. The young people are not buying groceries but paying off debts to drug dealers and/or drug dealers waiting for them on income support day outside Northern stores. So I want to ask the Minister how can the GNWT support the RCMP to reduce crime associated with drug trades and, you know, that goes with harassment and vandalism and thefts. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is sad to see our young people, who were once full of life, now look defeated. We can just look in Yellowknife downtown. You can see that, you know. And even in the small community as well. So what can the GNWT do to make it difficult for drug dealers to operate in the territory? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are communities in the NWT without consistent RCMP presence. Can the Minister explain what is being done to improve effective level of policing in NWT communities?
