Thanks, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister please explain how long this replacement has been noted as a needed replacement, I guess. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And, yeah no, I can respect that the Minister does not have control over private operators.

I would request maybe, Mr. Chair, if the Minister is willing to speak with her Cabinet colleague in MACA, who is responsible for the 9-1-1 system, writ large and its operation, as to whether or not these redundancies can be looked at and meaningfully reported back to this House. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'm very pleased to see that the Office of the Chief Information Officer is working to update and replace -- I don't know what the best word is for it -- outdated 9-1-1 systems. It's my understanding from reading a bit into it that this is both computer-aided dispatch as well as phone systems that have reached end of life and software. Can the Minister please tell me if this upgrade will help alleviate problems that we saw this past May in 2025 with a scheduled service outage? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just broadly, could the Minister please describe what accessibility improvements and upgrades and renovations will occur? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister has spoken previously in this sitting, and mentioned it earlier in her answers, that she has directed her staff to understand the resiliency of our hydroelectric systems. Can the Minister outline what will happen to meet our net zero goal if we do not meet our timelines to upgrade our strategic energy infrastructure and continue with the status quo. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my second set of questions is for the Minister of Strategic Infrastructure, Energy and Supply Chains. You make it look easy, Mr. Speaker. How is the Minister working with climate science to make strategic decisions for investment in our current and planned energy systems? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, no, it's good to hear that we are creating a safer environment for folks who are experiencing extreme distress. So more of a comment. Thank you. Nothing further.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So that is a tipping point for us. Does the Minister know how much more greenhouse gases we are emitting annually as compared to prior to our 2023 wildfire season and continued permafrost melt? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I'm looking here on page 66 of the project listing for corrections. Could the Minister please explain the North Slave correctional complex harm reduction cell. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we tend to talk about what we can control, what is in our jurisdiction, and how to be best of service to the residents of the Northwest Territories. Unfortunately, climate change doesn't care about jurisdictional boundaries. Climate change demonstrates that we live in a fragile, interconnected global system that requires all governments, indeed all levels of government, to be thoughtful and strategic with how we manage, mitigate, and adapt to these impacts.

Mr. Speaker, the North of my childhood is very different than the North that we currently live, work...
