Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Thebacha, that notwithstanding Rule 2.1, when the House adjourns on Friday, October 31st, 2025, it shall be adjourned until Wednesday, February 4th, 2026;

And further, that any time prior to February 4th, 2026, if the Speaker is satisfied, after consultation with the Executive Council and Members of the Legislative Assembly, that the public interest requires that the House should meet at an earlier or later time during the adjournment, the Speaker may give notice and thereupon the House shall meet at the time...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister confirm whether there is always an approved remediation plan approved before an operation is allowed to get underway? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd also like to recognize one of our pages, Alexis Grant from Yellowknife North.

Again, I want to thank all the pages for their work this week, their patience with us, and always keeping our water glasses filled and hopefully having a little fun and learning something along the way too. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister also tell us whether the formulas that are used to calculate security estimates, whether they're based on real-world evidence? Is it tested in comparison to what things cost in real life, or is it just based on a theoretical formula? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to ask questions of the Minister for Environment and Climate Change. A moment ago, my colleague was asking about security estimates and what would happen in a hypothetical case of a mine bankruptcy, and the Minister stated both that they would use the security deposits but also if that wasn't enough then it might have to come back to the government and we might see some supplementary appropriations being requested in this House.

Can the Minister confirm whether the securities it holds will cover the entire cost of a potential cleanup operation in the case of a...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, last week the Premier's Awards for Excellence recognized the outstanding work of individuals and organizations, and today I'd like to highlight some exceptional work being done by folks based in Yellowknife North.

The Salvation Army has been a key partner in getting the transitional housing for addictions recovery program up and running here in Yellowknife. We've known for many years that in order to set people up for success who are returning from addictions programs down south, they need stable supportive housing and a chance to establish new routines and...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to quickly add I know we've discussed this in the House before, and in my mind there's still a lack of clarity. I mean, there's hope that the new wellness and recovery centre in Yellowknife could provide such a 24-hour shelter or these kind of supports, but I'm not clear. While the building may be planned to be open 24 hours -- I know there's a sobering centre part and a day shelter part and I imagine the sobering centre part will be, you know, open during the night. But the idea is not just to technically have somewhere that's open at each time of day but...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to put extra emphasis on this one as I was speaking about this in my Member statements the other day, but just to emphasize the need to look at the recommendations that have been coming over and over again every year from the rental officer in their annual report, including a need to tackle the problem of landlords that are repeat offenders and even the need to address issues that appear to be sort of widespread throughout a building as opposed to only being able to address them unit by unit based on one individual complaint at a time and to ensure that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So given that any applications that are still being made usually require substantiation for each child and often letters of support or assessments by a specialist, is the department able to assist either education bodies or individual families with even just getting those assessments done or getting access to the therapeutic specialist, just to be able to make those applications in the first place? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask questions of the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.

So far too many students are entering in NWT schools with challenges preventing them from learning basic reading, writing, and numeracy skills. We heard from an education authority that one Yellowknife elementary school is dealing with 67 students who have arrived at school not even able to speak. So given the necessity of therapeutic support workers in schools such as speech-language pathologists, does the $14 million that the GNWT has set aside this year to fill gaps left by the changes to...
