Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm wondering why we wouldn't maintain a consistent value or dollar value in this pocket so that ECE, especially, you know, given what we just heard from MLA Martselos in regards to the importance of education, why we wouldn't, rather than having a tenyear strategy innovation, just be constantly innovating in the way that we are delivering education in the Northwest Territories. And so I'm wondering why that's not a fixed amount that is constantly there for us to continue to do better. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Entrepreneurship accelerates economic growth, spurs innovation, instigates social change, promotes research and development, and improves and grows existing sectors. Global business owners have been instrumental in spurring social change and improving the way people live and work around the world.

Mr. Speaker, entrepreneurship is a good thing for every NWT community. While some business ventures are large operations, so many more are small homebased businesses expanding our workforce and economic and social health. But Housing NWT is standing in the way.

People in public...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll wait until the next section.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. And, you know, I assume that people like career advisors and counsellors and school administrators will be part of that education, even school teachers. But I would also like to ask, given that income security and income assistance is in here as well, that GSOs but not only GSOs, NGOs, be made part of kind of that training because there are NGOs like YWCA that spend a lot of time helping people access programs and kind of act as a mediator between residents and programs like yours. And so I'm just hoping that we can ensure that they're included because they can...

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. My I probably only have time for one last question. So the supporting child inclusion and participation, it says contributions to target the needs of children who are vulnerable, at risk, or who have specific needs. I'm assuming that this is largely used more in kind of an inclusive for kids with disabilities within a daycare or day home setting. I'm also wondering if given that children of teen parents might fall into a vulnerable or at risk category, if this would also be an avenue to access funding for teen parents? Thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I know that we don't have integrated service delivery. But it seems to me that people being released from our correction centres would be people who would be identified at being at high risk of falling through the cracks of the system, falling into chronic homelessness, and needing an extra hand and a case manager to actually help them through this. And I know that the Minister has said that there are case managers who can do this work, but I don't think these case managers are actually being provided the tools to properly do this work. And so I think...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the report recommended that within one or two years the GNWT reduce the credit for renewable generation and allow utilities to increase their fixed charges by 5 percent. Is the GNWT considering reducing the credit for renewable generation and will the GNWT consult before making such changes? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Is there a funding pot that supports people who are leaving incarceration from our other correctional facilities, for example, North Slave correctional centre here in Yellowknife? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, open the GNWT's 2030 Energy Strategy and you find multiple suggested solutions to help reduce the territory's greenhouse gas emissions. Small wind turbines, the Inuvik wind turbine, liquified natural gas, solar, mini hydro, and transmission lines to connect grids, come together in this plan with promises of 25 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving our both energy solutions doesn't only get us closer to our GHG goals, it supports our collective economic goals through potential critical mineral industry expansion and our individual goal of...

I can be way more specific. Thank you, Madam Chair. How much does it actually cost to reintegrate offenders into our communities in the Northwest Territories, because I'm not sure that $179,000 actually accomplishes what we're setting out to accomplish. Thank you.
