So Mr. Chair, maybe the Minister could explain what that statement is on page 72 about funding from CMHC? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to say thank you to the Minister for looking at filling those two positions, possibly three. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank to the Minister for that commitment there. I look forward to the results of that commitment on the review. Currently, as mentioned in my statement, we have 24 vacant funded vacancies.

My next question there, Mr. Speaker, will the Minister support medical escort assistant to that position as well? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I raised the a Sahtu issue of recruiting a regional medical travel coordinator during our past spring sitting. Mr. Speaker, the NWT health care system is in high demand. It seems, Mr. Speaker, today's society is impacted by many challenges beyond our control.

Mr. Speaker, the NWT is resilient in many ways to the challenge that it faced and is facing. One can only view the reactive approach to climate change impacts.

Mr. Speaker, I had the opportunity during the week of September the 23rd for an invited ministerial tour of the Sahtu region. During this tour...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll just make a reference to the sweeper designated there for Norman Wells as part of the asset upgrade. That particular unit was brought to my attention several times there. Being so old, it was getting difficult to get replacement parts. But this -- my question to the Minister is this whole area of asset management and positioning, particularly positioning your fuel supply tanks, one of the things that we have learned in our discussion during the wildfires in Fort Good Hope was positioning fuel supply or storage in designated communities. Has this been discussed, this...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank to the Minister for that progress update. Now we've got a date or a year. I seen the drawings and the colored designs. It's a very beautiful building with other features that the old facility didn't have.

My next question to the Minister is with this new modern facility, will there be additional staff opportunities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It gives me further privilege to recognize Maureen McKinnon, the teacher from the Colville Lake school who is escorting the pages Briley and his brother Mason. Welcome to the Assembly. Mahsi.

I've got nothing further there, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for those two replies. It gives a better knowledge on the schedule of the construction.

My last question is that will the Minister work with my office for the additional materials that were there and got deteriorated, call it old stock. I've been getting some inquiries that local people are interested in the old material. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My follow-up to my statement here are questions to the Minister of Health and Social Services. My first question there, Mr. Speaker, is the Tulita Health Centre, can the Minister provide an update on the progress of that unit? Thank you.
