Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, I can appreciate that that's in draft, and the Minister and her department want to get it right. What is the timeline associated with the vision? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thanks to the Minister for that. I guess I will be a little more explicit. I know that there's a new tourism strategy coming, and I am curious if the cross-pollination -- I think was the words used -- between arts and tourism is being considered as maybe part of that forward-looking piece. Obviously, not getting into detail, but just in terms of a wider breadth of those, the Venn diagram of arts and tourism. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

No, Mr. Chair, I don't have anything further at this moment.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And some further questions on this, and the Minister has heard me ask them before. Is there any contemplation on how the updated grants and contributions policy in ITI could be shared and applied throughout the GNWT such that other policy shops could learn from it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Similarly, the Indigenous capacity building program, there is some discussion around outcomes of looking into and evaluating that program. And the business plan says it should be due in March of this year. Can I get an update on that, please, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Some very basic questions for the Minister today. In the business plan, it says that the SEED program review and evaluation is due in February 2026. Could the Minister provide an update on when committee will see this work? Thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. Very exciting work that they're doing there indeed on that front. And so I am curious if the Minister knows at this particular time -- obviously she's just noted that it will be another year or so before final report, study report will be available. But at this time does she see any dovelining applications with industry that are currently interested in the results of this study? What is the sort of -- what is the sort of anticipation, I guess, building, if any, with industry and/or regulatory partners? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in his response to my Written Question 22-20(1), the Minister of MACA wrote that the Dog Act is designed to provide flexibility so communities can address dog control and welfare issues in a manner that reflects their specific needs. This includes the authority for communities to adopt tailored local bylaws.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister elaborate on what resources currently exist or need to be developed so that NWT communities can work collaboratively and share their good work with other communities that have partnered and seen success with Veterinarians...

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to my colleague before me. I got an answer on one of my questions already, so okay.

Just for clarity's sake, and because it is noted in the business plan and just to have this in the conversation this evening, can the Minister speak to, I think in the business plan it flags that the MRA regs are expected to be in force in fiscal year 2027-2028. Can she clarify if this means it will be happening before the end of this Assembly or the beginning of the 21st? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Sorry, I am also at the loopy hour of the day, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

I am just noticing here as I look through the grants, contributions, and transfers under economic diversification and business support that, really, you know, year over year there is not a significant amount of growth. And so could the Minister speak broadly to some of the grants and contributions and whether any of them are wildly oversubscribed? And I guess that's subjective but she can make an assessment, I suppose. I am just wondering if these monies are staying static year over year, if that means that they are successful...
