Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would just ask if the Minister could be a bit more specific about the other mechanisms. Are we talking about potentially bringing a supp, or how is -- I just -- for me, what matters is is that the issues are being addressed and that we're gonna find money to address them. But if the Minister can be specific, that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And the reason I bring it up, Mr. Speaker, is because I'm suggesting that for some of the projects that they're advocating for to move forward, we need more capacity in our regulatory system. So what I'm asking the Premier is not just have you considered it, but would you consider bringing this forward as a change to the way we're doing engagement to help our system move forward so that the projects we're trying to advance can actually advance through the system. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what is being done by staff who are developing -- I'm going to keep referring to it as a strategy -- the new strategy response to the concerns raised by the 2025 environmental audit about effectiveness of previous strategies? I won't go into the audit here.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I Appreciate that, that further clarification and substantiation.

Just want to say, you know, yeah, it's definitely important. The department is putting resources into enforcement on the winter road. I think -- I don't need to emphasize the importance of caribou in the territory. And so this one is important to me, and I'm happy to see them making this investment. Thank you. That's it for me on this page, thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The first question I have is, we know that the 2023 Wildfire After-Action Review noted that more effective fire behaviour modeling software is needed. Is the department planning for wildfire modeling software upgrades to support the new fire centre's new coordination centre? Will that form part of the capital plan in future years, or is it part of the plan right now, or can the Minister give us some updates on that?

No, thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of ECC. Mr. Speaker, what is the status of the initiative to bulk transfer Commissioner's land within the municipal boundary of the city of Yellowknife at this time? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this summer I received a request from a constituent to deal with an issue that seemed to pretty clearly fall under municipal jurisdiction. Someone was illegally dumping domestic garbage in a small wooded area about 10 metres off of one of Yellowknife's most densely populated neighbourhoods in my riding. MLAs often receive issues which fall under municipal purview, and I make sure to forward these issues on to city Council to handle. But we looked it up and, sure enough, this piece of land in question is untenured Commissioner's land. So despite being deep...

Thank you. And I wanted to similarly ask some questions about the Gordon Lake patrol station. So I'm just looking at the most recent mobile core Bathurst caribou management zone, and the patrol station is on there. It looks from the map that the patrol station is not on the main winter road route. I could be wrong about that. But is there talk of relocating the station to the winter road, or am I just simply mistaken?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I always say, there's lots of lakes in Yellowknife so it takes a while to get us all figured out.

Mr. Chair, I really just wanted to put my comments on the record and just compliment the committee on an excellent and comprehensive review and really wanted to highlight, again, the recommendations that committee made. They're extensive. There's 15 of them in total, and I think it's important to note that if you take the recommendations in their entirety, and I guess I would direct these comments towards Cabinet. I mean, they're going to be directing their staff and the...
