Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So earlier I asked about implementing the final report of the supported living review. The Minister says there's no money, the Minister's waiting for the health care sustainability unit. So let's ask the Minister responsible for the health care sustainability unit. Can the Premier tell me when will the health care sustainability unit release its recommendations to implement the outstanding recommendations in the supported living review final report. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

We got to get rid of these lakes, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I mean, the people who deserve the credit are the people who are advocating to us, right. They're the ones who are going through this, and they're the ones who are identifying the gaps.

Mr. Speaker, she's got 33 recommendations to look at. Now we're waiting for more recommendations. It just seems like we're getting into endless amounts of waiting and waiting and waiting. When will we see some real timelines and real results that people can look at so they can have some certainty that this problem is going to be resolved? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So what this all reveals is there's not a single coordinated pathway for someone -- for an adult experiencing these difficulties to access government. There's no one-stop shop that they can go and receive that support if they're having trouble accessing that support. So will the Minister commit to establishing that coordinated support, so it's very easy for people to get the help they need, and also attach service standards for it so there are clear measures that kick in if someone has not received the help they need within a timely manner, not received it at all, or is...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I've been contacted by families that are affected by the lack of action on support to persons with disabilities. So I'd like to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services, the supportive living review has only, as I've mentioned in my statement, had a handful of its 32 recommendations implemented. When will the Minister get around to completing the implementation of this very important report? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd also like to ask questions for the Minister of Strategic Infrastructure, Energy, and Supply Chains.

The Arctic Economic and Security Corridor is a crucial strategic priority of this government and Canada. Obviously, it's in the planning stages. We're not shovel ready at all. The question I have is about the billions of dollars that have been promised in new defence spending in the Northwest Territories. Is any of that contingent on the ASEC corridor? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the cost of -- I believe it was the cost of living subsidy. So will that directly impact the bills that my constituents are paying? Because that's what it -- because that's where the rubber meets the road. Are they going to see increasing costs, or are they going to see a stabilized cost going forward where they're not going to see these shocks month on month; that's what they want to know. And I am hoping the Minister can tell me. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am not getting some clear answers so I will have to come back to this. But, Mr. Speaker, one of the partners the Minister left out is municipalities. Will the Minister transfer land requests from municipalities, particularly the city of Yellowknife but also Inuvik, Hay River -- will he transfer those lands that they've requested for by, let's say, end of Q2 this year? We need this land now. We need to bring the investment forward. It's time for these decisions to be made; will he make those decisions? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, dovetailing on my colleague's comments about the economy, crucial to the economy, especially a natural resource economy, is land tenure. I'd like to ask the Minister responsible for Environment and Climate Change how is his department moving expediently to ensure that there is comprehensive land tenure reform so there's certainty in the Northwest Territories for investment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

And are these increases at all driven by increased fees at academic institutions, or is this merely driven by the number of students who are enrolling in the program? So I guess is it more expensive to go to university and that's why the rates are going up, or is it just because we have more students applying? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And are -- these student late fees from the last academic semester, are they covered by this increase? Thank you.
