I will provide a couple of examples that can be included on the checklist of the inspection. It would be wheelchair access, one of these automated buttons is not on there during my last visit; and another checklist item could be, what are the options for the overflow of people over and above what the room capacity is actually designated to have?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize my aunt sitting behind me here, the interpreter for the Slavey portion of the proceedings. Mahsi.

Considering the third party revenues that came into this newly acquired division, did we make any money?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my question is directed to the Minister of DOI, acknowledging the statements made earlier. My first question is directed to the Marine Transportation Services department. How has MTS addressed the environmental issues within the properties purchased? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

This is more of a comment. I look forward to the upcoming business plans you are scheduled for November so I will reserve that fourth question at that time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks to the Minister for that question of clarity on the disposal action plan. My next question is, did MTS generate any revenue other than through the community resupply?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I wear the orange shirt in recognition of residential school, a traumatized history for the First Peoples of Canada.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My last question is: I know the department is working on that mineral conference. Would the Minister look at holding that session, if and when it happens, in the community of Tulita? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Part of the consultation questions I heard on the last go-around here on the new Mineral Resources Act consultation was that not everybody could afford to go to the regional centres to participate into the open houses. I'm wondering if we can take the open house sessions to the communities. Will the Minister commit to an open house session on this strategy and how it is inter-linked with other initiatives to the five Sahtu communities? It will be four, now.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize the youth members of the Youth Abroad program and their supervisors. Mahsi.
