Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's my understanding that when you call for a same-day appointment in Yellowknife, you are assigned one location or the other, downtown or uptown. Can the Minister tell me how -- how same-day primary care appointments locations are selected and provided to someone who is calling in? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I just -- I note that that is top of mind when folks are headed out on the Ingraham Trail, especially, I think most people who have lived here in the Yellowknife area for a long time have recognized that we have a lot more windy days in the warmer weather and note just would really love to get an update on that from the Minister when it's available. So can the Minister commit to updating committee on that work. Thank you

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to my colleague for setting me up for questions that a little bit more granular than his.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell me how many primary care same-day appointments are available in both Yellowknife locations? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And can the Minister tell me if there were concerns about diseased animals aside from contacting obviously an ECC officer in your region to report dead birds, is there any foresight or planning around whether or not we will be hearing more public information if, indeed, there becomes a bigger issue around this Avian flu? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And Madam Chair, I realize I might not be getting a straightforward answer to this next question, and that's all right, but I just thought I'd ask it anyway. Can the Minister please estimate what the total cost of remediation for these sites will be. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And yeah, no, that's perfect. I didn't expect the Minister to rattle off all that data right now, but thank you very much. It does paint a little bit of a picture of how often we're getting out and monitoring those herds. I'm just curious specifically because the dollar amount for range planning is fairly static since last year, but in the 2023-2024 actuals they're much higher. Caribou monitoring slightly decreased but not significantly so. So, yeah, more information about what is planned for the coming year is most appreciated.

Madam Chair, I am interested also in...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I am curious about the status of the negotiations for the excepted waste sites. Could we get an update on those sites. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, can the Minister please tell me -- this is based off their business plan which I believe on their plan is page 36, in the entire document page 76, the business plan update. There is a discussion around monitoring ungulate species. So can the Minister please let me know what ungulate species surveys are slated to occur for the fiscal year 2025-2026. Thank you, Madam Chair.

I'm done. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Can we just say generally that, you know, the folks in this division do a lot of great work, as I'm sure the department knows, I know. But it's a lot of heavy lifting. It's a lot of really important work. And I would just suggest that if we are wanting to do expedient and good work on this, on legislative initiatives, it might be worthwhile setting up similar -- something similar to the way that ITI approached the MRA. It's more of a comment than a question but just -- just if the Minister would like to respond. Thank you, Madam Chair.
