Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for that reply.

Carrying on to my next question, are any pilot programs to develop remediation labour force or business capacity planned to the principles of Nortran? Mahsi.

ITI. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, developing remediation skills in the Sahtu, Mr. Speaker, it has been documented that Northerners have not fully benefitted from environmental cleanup and remediation sites across the Northwest Territories. In the Sahtu, we can see a major remediation project is on our horizon. It is expected the Norman Wells oil field will stop producing recoverable oil, and the site will need to be remediated.

Imperial Oil has submitted their closure and reclamation plan to the appropriate authorities. It must be noted the oil field is owned by the Government of Canada, Mr...

Mr. Chair, I have no further questions. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for that reply here. On the continuation of my question, my last one, is that will the Minister provide a report on a spreadsheet format on the schedule for renovations in this project so I can have something to share with my constituent community? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Further to my questions on the Fort Good Hope arena status. The community of the Dene organization is leading the project and actively working on it. The Department of MACA has assisted where possible, including funding and developing the scope of work and estimated costs to have this building and facility completed. Can the Minister provide an operational update on the progress of this facility and the construction scheduling? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks for that clarification. It's comforting to know that these collections for additional costs will be paused on the leaseholders.

The Minister mentioned collaboration with Indigenous governments on a new process to address traditional cabins. Can the Minister confirm this work is just about lease rents, or is this engagement broader? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My initial question is for the Minister of ECC. Proposed traditional cabins. Earlier this week, Mr. Speaker, the Minister and the Member of Inuvik Boot Lake had an exchange on leases, rents, for Indigenous users of the land. Can the Minister just clarify why the GNWT charges lease rents fees to Indigenous users? Mahsi.

Okay, thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for the response here. One of the issues that are really lacking in the smaller communities is trades and skills. Will the Minister promise to recruit and supply a project manager for this project through the community local government? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my Member's statement today is on the progress or future plans to complete the Fort Good Hope municipal arena complex. Mr. Speaker, construction renovations, as I understand, stopped a number of years ago on this facility. Residents are left in suspense, families, parents, leaders, on the future continued construction plans.

Mr. Speaker, sports and recreation facilities are essential in our small communities. These activities contribute to releasing the talents of our youth leading by examples to healthy living, expanding and participating at territorial and...
