Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Appreciate -- I would love to deliver two Member statements a day, but that would be a lot of work.
My questions are for the Minister of Infrastructure. And in the last sitting, I was asking questions about establishment of building standards legislation. I am just wondering, the Minister had committed to follow up on that, if the Minister has any updates on progress on that work with his department. Thank you.
Thank you, Member from Frame Lake. Minister of Infrastructure.
Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. So the only update I have got is that we actually have slowed down on that work right now just because we've established priorities on working on legislation that they're related to the mandate essentially. Also, I mean, the work's still being done in the background, but it's just not a priority right now. And just maybe to add to that, I think there's more of a national view looking at this so we are going to continue working on it, just not at a priority pace right now. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was hoping for a walk forward as opposed to a walk back on this one. Last time we chatted about this, there was a commitment to get all the work in place so that we could be ready to quickly introduce legislation in the 21st Assembly. Can the Minister just confirm that getting the framework in place to do that is still on the table. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I would agree with that, and we're still going to continue working to have that for the 21st Assembly. But also just to be clear, I wouldn't say it's walking back. It's just walking a little slower, that's all. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Final supplementary. Member from Frame Lake.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And can the Minister just give us an update as to what walking slowly exactly looks like? So just if I could get some details as to what work is actually being done. Any details would be helpful for the public to understand that this is moving forward. Certainly, I have constituents who are interested in seeing this move forward. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just follow me. No, I would just say that -- just to be clear with this, it's not that we're not working on it; it is being worked on. Again, we have legislative priorities that were put on the table essentially just to concentrate on, and that's what the department's been doing. So it's not that it's being neglected or wiped off the table or anything like that. We are working on it, and we'll continue to work on it, just not as fast as the Member had hoped and I would hope. Something we all want too. So thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister of Infrastructure. Oral questions. Member from Yellowknife Centre.
