Les réalisations dont M.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with the land claims being settled throughout the North and the regional governments are taking shape, community governments are taking shape, my question to the Minister is come April 1st, 2026, would the Minister take a look at how they could work with regional governments so that they could look at providing the funeral services to their own community members based on their culture and values.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to follow up on a couple more questions to the Minister of health. Earlier to my statements and my questions, I just wanted to ask the Minister to see if we could get a cost that's associated to the funeral costs here in the Northwest Territories and that could -- if it's provided to the House. Thank you.
