Thank you. Can the Minister share any comprehensive evaluation or other data that takes into account by needs assessments, best practices of Indigenous treatment centres in other jurisdictions, and client uptakes and outcomes of the departments preferred service offering to back up her claim that treatment centres do not work in the NWT? Thank you.

How can they participate the students, how can they participate in decisions to change the Education Act, not phase 2? Thank you.

Thank you. Are these MOUs between ECE and the Indigenous government or between Executive and Indigenous Affairs and the Indigenous governments? Thank you.

Well, like I said before, she can work with Tlicho government on this approach.

In the spirit of wanting to provide a range of suitable options for NWT residents, will the Minister commit to learning more about client preferences and contracting a greater number of southern facilities that meet our needs for addiction treatment? Thank you.

Thank you. Will the department and health authorities consider that a change in their own approach may be necessary to make treatment facilities successful rather than assume treatment centres definitively will not work in NWT? Thank you.

If he knows the detail, he should share it with us. That is why we are, you know that is why I am addressing this because there is something. They know something. They should share it with us. The Minister promises a phase 2 in which his department will collaborate with Indigenous government, education bodies, and stakeholders. How is the Minister going to ensure that phase 2 will take place and proceed in a collaborative manner? Thank you.

So all the changes that he referred to he should share with us, put it in writing, and let the small communities in the region know about this because I just ask him a...

Yes, thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to acknowledge and welcome Leon Apple, originally from Gameti, and he currently lives in Yellowknife. And I would like to welcome the Arctic Alliance as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I too will not support this carbon tax, you know, especially now, especially now with my constituent many of my constituents are struggling as it is, with high cost of living and with fuel price increase in many of the small communities. So there is a lot of struggling happening right now. I know that. I am aware of that because I come from a community from small communities from a small community in the region. So this is an additional burden for my people so I will not support this carbon tax at the moment. Thank you.

Yes. If it wasn't if it didn't happen in that order, I would not have said anything. But what is the Minister's vision of how the Education Act will reflect the GNWT's commitment to reconciliation if Indigenous governments are left out from designing the legislation's modernization? Thank you.
