Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, and I appreciate that information. I think anecdotally from what I am learning, alongside some constituents, is that the process of going through the recognizing of a degenerative disease and then from there being able to go through the process and begin the process of being diagnosed is really a difficult, difficult stage of the of the entire journey and that we do not have, in the Northwest Territories, specialists who are able to help people through that process and that can be very, very difficult because you end up kind of trapped in this area of not...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Further to my Member's statement, I'm wondering if the Minister can advise us of the rates of Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's disease in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I think what we're really talking around here is core need in the Northwest Territories, and so I'm wondering if as part of this work, if we can expect to see a plan to pull the territory out of core need within a timeframe with budgets associated with it so that we have an actual plan of how we're going to fix the housing crisis in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. So, no, I wanted to better understand that $40 million figure, if that had to do with simply repairs or if it also had to do with building new infrastructure. And so, no, thank you very much for the Housing Corporation for that, and I always feel very rude with my back to them so I'm sorry for that. But, no, I want so thank you very much for that clarification. And we did get a good news story this week from the NWT Housing Corporation, and that was an influx of $93 million to housing in the Northwest Territories. So kudos to the Northwest Territories...

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, can the Minister give us an idea of this list that they have, the very detailed list, does it have a cost associated with what it would take to repair all of those units? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, does the Housing Corporation have a list of how many units require repairs, major repairs or minor repairs, but are still occupied? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm wondering if there is an appeals process for those that are denied education leave by their direct supervisors. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Honourable Member for Great Slave, that Committee Report 20-19(2): Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Bill 30: An Act to Amend the Aurora College Act, be received by the Assembly and moved into the Committee of the Whole for further consideration. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your Standing Committee on Social Development is pleased to provide its report on Bill 30, an Act to Amend the Aurora College Act and commends it to the House.

Bill 30, an Act to Amend the Aurora College Act was first introduced by the Department of Education, Culture and Employment on June 2nd, 2021, and then referred to the Standing Committee on Social Development for review.

Bill 30 proposes changes to the Aurora College Act (the Act) to:

Create a new public governance system for Aurora College;

Move the college to an arm's length relationship with the...

Yeah, thank you very much, Madam Chair. And as the Member for Yellowknife North said, we did already read an extensive report into the House but I just wanted to start off by saying thank you to the Member who did bring this bill forward, and while committee did not reach consensus on a path forward, I do agree that the Member did bring forward a bill for the purpose of fixing a substantial issue in the Northwest Territories, and that relates back to everyone having the right to safe and secure housing and being able to have a warm house at that. And so I think that the issues that are...
