Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When I go into my four communities in my riding, we have not very much elders left in our communities and the ones that are there are shipped out to Hay River, Fort Smith, and even here in Yellowknife. And we've got to continue to support our elders in our communities, and I know for a fact that we have elders here as well in this facility here in Yellowknife, from Lutselk'e, Dettah, N'dilo, and they really enjoy that facility. And I'm going to support this motion from YK Centre and the seconder from the Sahtu for that reason. Nobody should have to go through what the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Has the recent changes in federal leadership and its renewed focus on economic development had a positive impact on the progress of these negotiations? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to recognize Chief Drygeese traditional territory and home of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation.

Mr. Speaker, as we approach the end of the year, my question is to the Premier. If he could update this House on what progress has been made towards finalizing the Akaitcho land claim and self-government agreement in 2025. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, in the face of global uncertainty, the federal government has embraced a one-Canada approach, encouraging provinces and territories to work together in the national interest to build a stronger and more resilient economy where security is built on cooperation and shared prosperity. Canada is a country of many distinct and diverse nations where cooperation is key to success, and the same is true about our own territory.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the last year I raised the issue in the House about emergency medical transportation for small communities and services they provide to help save lives for our members in our community. I spoke to the Minister of MACA and health in collaboration to look for a solution. I have a question for the Minister of Community affairs, and my question is will the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs commit to a plan establishing life-saving paramedic and drone ambulance services in the community of Lutselk'e and Fort Resolution? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
