Yeah, thank you. And, you know, further down that sort of avenue of thought that my colleague was going to earlier today, we heard at the biomass summit -- which was, you know, grateful that the GNWT was a funder of that summit -- that community energy planning is, indeed, core and crucial to help communities assess what it is that they think they want to do in that space, how they can grow energy reliance and self-sufficiency in that space. And so I would argue that that's a good thing to fund, and I hope that it does get reinstated. However, I know the Minister is not going to speak about...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will stay on the same general topic. I am curious if justice tracks the number of evictions executed by the sheriff's office. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And, Mr. Speaker, has the Housing NWT sorted out the priority lists for the folks who are moving if they are moving in in the next couple of weeks. I recognize that Aspen is mostly one bedrooms; are all the units going to be filled? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you for that clarity, Mr. Chair, and to the Minister. It's my understanding that there was an evaluation of this pilot. Is that -- and I am just -- I am looking at the business plan, and the dates seem a little bit off to me. It might have been just a typo. So I am just trying to understand if that evaluation of the pilot is being enacted now or is completing now. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to remark on how deeply thankful I am for the diverse 2SLGBTQ+ community of the Northwest Territories. In recent years, and notably again this week, misguided hatred towards the trans community festers on social media. As Bad Bunny reminded us all at his Super Bowl performance last weekend, the only thing more powerful than hate is love. So today I rise once again to state unequivocally my love for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and specifically my trans and nonbinary friends and neighbours.

I also want to thank this House for passing the second reading of...

That's all. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I don't have anything further on this item for now. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, so it's my understanding that the PASR fund has faced ongoing challenges because lottery revenues have dropped. And the reason the GNWT is funding is to sort of maintain, I guess, equilibrium for that fund so we can support athletes and coaches, which is good. But is there anything the Minister is willing to talk about here today that the department is looking to do to address this ongoing problem? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Nothing further.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, I appreciate that clarity and that update. I've been hearing a lot of Members talk about relief for seniors, so thank you. Nothing further at this time.
