Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I can wait, but thank you, I guess.

Mr. Speaker, I'd like to continue the conversation around seeking more clarity on what I'm considering the big three, not infrastructure, but the big three health pieces. That would be primary care reform, health system sustainability, and the new public administrator.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister please explain how the health system sustainability unit, which I realize is not hers, but how that unit and the public administrator are working together; and, if they are, what parts of their mandate overlap, if any. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That's a lot for one person. Can the Minister explain what the expected outcomes of the public administrator's work will be, or put more simply, how will we know if we've been successful in tackling the significant challenges, many of which she listed just now, that he was brought in to address? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I too would like to recognize Ms. Mueller who is now the president of the NWT Teachers' Association. She was also my assistant deputy minister and one of the first people I talked to about my aspirations to be in this House, and she was very encouraging. I'd also like to say thank you very much to all Great Slave pages today in the Assembly. That would be Gabrielle, Sokhna, and Olivier. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that chapter 4 be amended by adding the words "or reflection" after each instance of the word "prayer." Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories bring forward legislation that includes provisions for bills to have both a technical title and a short title. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there's a real opportunity here to not only be punching above our weight, as I said in my statement, but also to show leadership in the availability of critical minerals in our territory. But as the Premier knows, we don't make a lot of money off of resource royalties right now. Will there be a redesign of royalties coming back into the territory to help us meet both the GNWT's endless infrastructure and social spending deficits and those of our Indigenous partners? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the following rule be added to chapter 9: 9.1(16) when Committee of the Whole is considering a Minister's statement, the Minister may have witnesses appear to supply information as required. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I rise to ask the Premier to give residents hope in a tangible way. In his territorial address yesterday, one thing he said caught my ear: We must be bold when the moment demands it.

While I'm happy that we're standing strong with Team Canada, that Canadians have come together to support each other and are committed to buying local and buying Canadian, I'm still concerned. There's so much at stake. I'm watching a US administration strip away protections, supports, and educational materials needed by gender-diverse Americans, low-income Americans, and tear apart...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that rule 2.2(2) be amended by replacing the words "at 6:00 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and at 2:00 p.m. on Fridays" with "at the designated adjournment time of a sitting day." Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that rule 7.2(7) be added. Under the term "oral questions", the clerk shall inform the Assembly of the follow-ups to oral questions received, deliver copies to the Members who ask the questions and have the returns printed in Hansard. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
