Thank you, Mr. Chair. I cede my time.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And in the suite of public safety legislation coming forward to us this year, such as SCAN and the Residential Tenancies Act review that has been pushed a little bit to the back burner but, you know, I think is still very much a consideration for this Minister, will it be looking to track more data about -- will any legislation be looking to track more data about evictions and trends over time and if not, in a statute in interest and policy that the department has? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. One moment, please. Thank you.

As my colleague from Yellowknife North noted earlier today in oral questions, we did have the pleasure of having the executive director of Arctic Energy Alliance present before us today in economic development and environment. He kindly pointed out to committee that several items have been cut in this budget, including community energy planning and the low income program to adjust energy poverty -- maybe not program but I guess grants, contributions and transfers. So the funding has ceased to continue. Can the Minister provide a...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, that's helpful information. The business plan has different dates, so I appreciate the update. Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's all.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I last asked about the Aspen Apartment in the last sitting, in October, and when residents would be moving in. I was told hopefully before Christmas however that's not come to pass. Can I please get an update from the Minister from Housing NWT when residents will be situated in Aspen. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, for your indulgence. Can the Minister clarify if this is a good place to ask about the community safe safety officer pilot? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would echo my colleague's comments on that particular program. It is one I also refer my constituents to. It's a very excellent program, and I look forward to finding a supp in the future on it.

This is more of a housekeeping item than anything else, Mr. Chair, and I will cede my time after I point it out. But YWCA of Yellowknife has not been YWCA of Yellowknife since 2017. Can we update it to their proper name? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yeah, so can the Minister speak to whether or not there's any evaluation, performance monitoring of the fund, any policy work that's happening? Any -- like, this is -- beyond just saying, you know, iGaming might come in and fix everything, which I have some general doubts about, what other work are we looking to do on this fund? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I know the Minister and his staff have briefed the Standing Committee on Government Operations on what I am about to ask, but I think some of it should be out in the public and so I will start with is the increased funding plan for sport and recreation expected to be a one-time adjustment, or do we expect this to be a multi-year trend to support sport and recreation; can the Minister and his staff paint the picture of what they expect to do with PASR? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Would he be willing to share specifics with committee? Thank you.
