Okay. According to her knowledge, is there any license issued to Tlicho? I don't think there's any, but I am just asking. I just wanted to know if there she -- if there is, if they issue any license -- tourism license to Tlicho. Thank you.

Thank you. I think we're out of time. But, yes, that's it for now.

Okay, thank you. Thank you for that answer. And another one here is that same thing on the same page, northern companies in 2024, you know, was nearly at $800 million. Northern companies that -- this is regarding their procurement. And procurement with northern Indigenous company was at $456 million. This is northern Indigenous companies. How big are some of these Indigenous companies? And it would have been nice -- because I know for the impact benefit agreement with the Tlicho, they're -- you know, for the procurement, they're considered first in my region so -- and if they're -- you know...

Now with the mine closure, like I said, my region is going to be impacted more. So now with the mine closure, do we still -- are we still going to employ people from the south knowing that we need -- you know, the family needs to survive or that rely on the mine, are we still going to keep those southern workers? You know, have them working here rather than using 100 percent of northern resident workers? It doesn't say here about the progress. Thank you.

Well, the remote work policy, that's -- whoever gets that job, it's still considered headquarter. It's not the regional. What I want to see is more jobs being transferred to the region, decentralizing. I know then that our regions will be advocated. We know that there's going to be more activities happening. But if everything is out of Yellowknife, who's going to be communicating with who? And there's no communication if it's all in Yellowknife. So I want to ask the Minister, in the near future, hopefully within the next fiscal year, or current -- or in the upcoming fiscal year, that they're...

Mr. Speaker, what is the department doing to better support children in care in maintaining their culture, language, and sense of community? Thank you.

Can the Minister explain to us why with the minerals and petroleum resources, the regional allocation, headquarters have more jobs in all the other regions except for Delta? There's no positions there identified. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister explain what steps the department is taking to ensure children who enter care are able to remain in their home communities whenever possible? Thank you.

Thank you. I am aware of the economic development officer positions in agreement with the Tlicho government. That is good. You know, it would be nice if, you know, the government can do that with other Indigenous group as well. What I am talking about is the high-level positions. You know, it's all situated in the headquarters, and I -- you mentioned remote work policy, and it's in -- the focus is on intern. So are these intern positions -- how many intern positions are we talking about? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, [Translation] this item that I'm going to talk about is regarding relative and how relatives and families work together and respecting each other.  Mr. Speaker, this issue that I'm talking about is our ancestors' knowledge.  So that is important.  Our ancestors' knowledge is very important, and we're supposed to work with this with our children.  So this child and family services, that's the issue I want to talk about [Translation Ends]. family services, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, family unity, responsibility, respect, and care for one another are core...
