Thank you, Mr. Simpson. Minister Abernethy.

Thanks to the Premier for that reply. On the issue of resiliency, my third question: we know that the federal government is working on an Arctic policy framework to guide its decisions in the North. Can the Premier tell me how the GNWT is going to make sure that NWT priorities and economic interests are reflected in the Arctic policy framework?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going to rely on the Minister's previous experience in looking at, I'm referring to page 179 on the allowance there of $1.1 million for the On the Land Healing Fund. Has there been in previous years looking at the Department of Justice for reintegration of clients? Looking at this department, On the Land Healing Fund, there are some similarities for clients there. Has there ever been a cost-shared pilot On the Land Program by both departments for these similarity clients, if you want to refer to them as that? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Simpson. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A follow-up to my questions on red alert that was made by our Premier last November. My first question: the people of my region agree that Northerners should have the ability to make their own decisions, but federal policies and decisions like the Arctic Offshore Oil and Gas Moratorium affect the kinds of decisions that we are able to make. Can the Premier tell me how his efforts to lobby the federal government and raise awareness on Northwest Territories priorities through the red alert will help support economic development in the Northwest Territories, and more...

Thank you, Ms. Green. Any further questions? Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister Abernathy.
