Thank you, Madam Chair. So I am excited to hear about the replacement of Hilltop, which is within Yellowknife North riding, and so I do hope that the Minister will keep me updated as much as possible because I am very interested in being involved as this project rolls out. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I hate wasting time. I hate wasting time of people who are paying to do good work, necessary work, and I hate wasting time of the public who offer their feedback through consultations or questionnaires. There are numerous initiatives within the health and social services system in particular from Indigenous patient advocates to the patient experience questionnaire that continue to gather feedback that seems to fall into a black hole instead of leading to meaningful action or change.

The Office of Client Experience, which includes Indigenous patient advocates...

Great. Thank you, Madam Chair. Before I return to that, if I have time, can the Minister just tell us so we're all clear -- so there's two projects for Yellowknife that are on the project list, one for 2027-2028 and one for 2026-2027, a public housing replacement of 24 units and a major retrofit of 12 units. Can the Minister give us details of what exactly are those projects. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And thanks to my colleague who asked some of the questions I was going to ask as well, but this is a great conversation.

To follow up there, in the previous exchange the president noted that we have an infrastructure deficit of still about $257 million, and there was discussion about how this ongoing infrastructure deficit means that we might be losing units because we're not able to address the deficit. Does the Minister or staff have any idea how many units we might be losing each year because we're not able to repair them or replace them? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. My question is, so this item says that the costs may be offset under the Government of Canada's disaster financial assistance arrangement program. Can the Minister explain what is meant by may and what assurances we have or don't have that this money is going to be offset by the federal government? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I appreciate the lengthy explanation or overview of -- I know there's been a lot going on. So my concern is that we don't necessarily plan ahead enough for future years for all of the basically asset management, but the repairs, the refurbishments, the major, you know, capital improvements that we know we're going to need within the power system, can the Minister assure us that, in fact, money is being set aside or has been set aside for all of the known repairs and refurbishments within the power system, say, in the next three years, or are we going to continue...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So in the Minister's previous answer, she talked about the reason for this $12 million expenditure is low water levels. Can we then assume that what we're actually talking about here is the burning of diesel due to low water, and can the Minister confirm do we know how much of that $12 million was spent on diesel? Can it be broken down like that? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So what is being done now? We've known for a number of years this is a problem. So what's being done now to try to reduce the number of no-show appointments, healthcare appointments, such as automated reminders or phone call reminders by administrative staff? You know, a number of us know these kinds of things are done in other contexts like dental appointments so what has taken so long for us to come up with strategies around no-show appointments in primary care? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'll just note I was looking online for a report from any previous patient experience questionnaires and couldn't find any. So if the Minister can direct us to that, that would be great.

I was also looking in annual reports of the health authority, and the last time that there was detailed statistical reporting on performance measures, including patient satisfaction, was 2019 and 2020. Will the minister direct the health authority to resume detailed reporting on patient satisfaction and patient outcomes? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So my questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. I know the Minister herself has been a big champion of the Office of Client Experience. And yesterday in her response to oral questions from the Member for Great Slave, the Minister noted she had personally met with the Indigenous patient advocates and heard about many of the same concerns that we talk about often in this House. I'm interested in how the documentation of those concerns actually leads to action.

So can the Minister explain what is the process for how the concerns being documented by the...
