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. And as those bigger groups have plans and finalized items that would then provide for, like, standard operating procedures or approaches, would the Minister be willing to share that material with the committee? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Sorry, one second, I am just also getting myself together. There's a lot of things to scroll.

Under asset management, and more specifically the project management line item, there is between the 2025-2026 Mains and the 2025-2026 Revised Estimates, there was an exceedance in the budget by nearly $2 million. Can the Minister speak to the increase in the spending and what specific projects required additional funds. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is there any way that the Minister or staff can explain that in more simple plain English because I am not sure I understand the explanation. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there is a new grassroots volunteered-based community called Canadian Health Care Infusion looking to -- seeking to help US healthcare workers relocate to Canada and work here. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Finance, since she's responsible for health care recruitment.

Has the Minister's staff had any outreach from NWT healthcare workers or volunteers seeking to do a similar chapter here in the NWT, one from -- it just opened in the Yukon today, I believe. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
