Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So I'd like to point out that the rules for transferring land from the Government of Canada to the GNWT are much simpler, and they still do require surveying, though, before municipal disposal. So what exactly is preventing the GNWT from using a similar model for when it transfers territorial land to municipalities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

All of Yellowknife I represent today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to acknowledge and recognize Yellowknife North constituents Marie Wilson, Steven Kakfwi, and Paul Andrew. I am quite honoured to have such distinguished Northerners in the Yellowknife North riding. Former Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner Marie Wilson, also a member of the Order of the NWT and the Order of Canada. Of course, Steven Kakfwi, a former Premier and the longest serving Cabinet member in NWT history. And Paul Andrew, recipient of the Order of the NWT and a national Aboriginal Achievement Award winner...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just to ask a follow-up question about the Prelude Lake Territorial Park outhouse, which is in my riding. I just wanted to ask the Minister, can this project be completed without interruptions to service or access to the boat launch or the day use area at Prelude Lake Park? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And so we were somewhat familiar with the standardized testing under the Alberta curriculum in grades 6, 9, and 12, but there's less clarity, or it's less well-known, what kind of standardized testing is present in the BC curriculum, or in the absence of standardized tests how are we now assessing the competency of our students at various stages to ensure that they can keep up with other students in Canada? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So I have questions for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. So given that the current high school graduating classes in the NWT are the last ones using the Alberta curriculum and the 2027 graduating classes will be the first ones graduating under the BC curriculum, some parents and educators have some questions about how this is rolling out. Specifically, since the transition to the BC curriculum was first explained as a pilot, I'd like to know from the Minister is the GNWT doing some kind of research and monitoring to evaluate the success of the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So I certainly -- I appreciate the Minister is trying to expedite that and will look forward to early 2026 having at least some progress towards the RFP. But in the meantime, we don't even seem to have a system where our doctors can talk to the Alberta system even though many of our patients are going back and forth obviously in and out of the Alberta system. Is there some kind of data sharing agreement that we could reach with Alberta so that our NWT-based practitioners can at least just get access to Alberta's electronic medical system? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So aside from legislative change, can the Minister commit to establishing a dedicated project manager within ECC to at least help coordinate interdepartmental and intergovernmental land transfer since even under the current rules, capacity constraints seem to be slowing down land transfer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For my first set of questions, I want to ask the Minister of Environment and Climate Change.

Now, we know that a significant problem holding back the development of land and new housing in the city of Yellowknife, as well as broader economic opportunity, is the lack of an arrangement for timely and efficient transfer of Commissioner's land to the city of Yellowknife. The Minister mentioned earlier this sitting that there's a memorandum of collaboration in place with the city that allows this transfer to go ahead, but there remain a number of barriers that make it...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to follow up on my statement yesterday about housing as a human right by speaking about how we can better hold landlords and tenants accountable. When your landlord is an investment trust based far away that sees your building as a tiny blip on a balance sheet rather than a home or a community, it's very difficult to hold them accountable.

It is positive that over the past few years Housing NWT has been moving towards owning its own buildings and away from leases with monopolistic real estate trusts, but there are also local landlords violating people...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just would simply request that the Minister also keep me informed, and then I can try to keep constituents informed and those who are using that area just so everyone's aware of what's available and not available. And I know there's a number of people who, yeah, live out there as well as use that area frequently. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
