Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For something completely different, we'll like the Maytag repair man, we'll go to questions to the Minister of ECC I guess. He doesn't get a lot of questions. We'll give him a chance today.

So, Mr. Speaker, my question for him today is about the Guardians of the Land. Could he describe what the program is, where it is, and how much it's being supported in the Northwest Territories when he describes what it is. Thank you.

The reason I say sound is because if I understand it correctly, although I'm not a lawyer, but you're not allowed to record unsuspecting peoples' conversations, etcetera. So that's why I'm saying without the sound piece, just to be so I go back to the question, is the Minister aware of any video cameras providing security on any NWT assets? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are directed to the Minister of Infrastructure, and it's about security. What does the Department of Infrastructure have any policies built around security of buildings for staff and clients? Thank you.

Actually, you know, it's fine. I'm comfortable with taking the context of fiction away. I don't feel like I want to tie Assembly time up so I withdraw the point of fiction, and basically, I'm back to the point I'll withdraw it, but I'll say are they using facts or creativity to make these decisions? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, the Minister says they've tried to hire the positions, but I can assure you the midwife advertisements for hiring has gone silent for some time. So, Mr. Speaker, back to the evidencebased question, what evidencebased analysis has proven this proven these solutions that the Minister has claimed to make are proven as facts? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are to the Minister of health, more so specifically to the challenges obstetrics has had over the years and the midwives. So, Mr. Speaker, my question specifically goes directly to the issue of what evidencebased evaluation's been used to reprofile the midwifery money to other purposes? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm curious if the Minister can answer the question with respect to how does a community or region access this opportunity to create a Guardian program? Is there an application, is it an interest of community, is it an interest of a region, etcetera? So can the Minister explain what process to establish them and support them? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister said he would provide the locations. I'll accept that offer.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister speak to the specific mandate the territorial government has to support the Guardians throughout the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

I'm pleased to narrow it down, Mr. Speaker. I'm more referring to office buildings. I'm sure airports have video cameras, etcetera. I'm more referring to office buildings and that similar type of nature where we have employees and daytoday clients. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions will be related to, or taking up where I left off on my Member's statement, with respect to midwifery.

Mr. Speaker, I was enjoying a good read. It's not a good read in the context of happiness, but it is a good report regarding the reclaiming power in place. It's the final report of the MMIWG. And I happened to notice a familiar name, Ms. Lesa Semmler in there. So I'm sure she's very familiar with the report. So specifically, I want to point to the page, without going into context, is it talks about the teachings of midwifery and postnatal care of women and...
