Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Does the Minister know how much money is being saved through these retrofits per year in utility costs savings? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So just finally can the Minister tell us how she's monitoring the success of these programs to make sure it's accomplishing what it's meant to accomplish? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. And so that's right around the Reid Lake campground. But can the Minister clarify, does that include new chip sealing where gravel currently exists, or is it just repairing and working on the chip sealing part that already is there? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So my first set of questions are for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.

So since the child and youth counsellors from HSS were shifted out of schools just over two years ago, ECE has given funds directly to the schools and education authorities for in-school mental health and wellness programs; however, many parents are still not clear what specific programs or activities are now available for their children. I understand the Minister has given considerable leeway to the schools to decide how the mental health and wellness funding is spent. Can she commit...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I do appreciate that the Minister noted that to get to be ready for an EA, there would need to be a lot of studies and Indigenous knowledge, traditional knowledge studies, also a lot of baseline data collection, which can't be done sort of in the snap of the fingers and often can't be sort of fast-tracked in the sense of there are certain times a year where you need to collect environmental baseline data. And if you need to collect it in the summer, you need to collect it then, you can't just sort of do it in February instead just because you want to.

So just flagging that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So given that there's already been substantial public input on this topic received by the Standing Committee on Government Operations as part of its review of Bill 26, in order to avoid asking people to engage over and over again on the same topic and risk consultation fatigue, will the Minister ensure that staff review the complete public record from the review of Bill 26 to include those materials as they develop the legislation? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Okay, that answer makes sense to me. I am all for efficiency and amalgamating spaces if it makes sense.

The last question is on the first page, there are three planning studies listed for different health and social services centres, one in Jean Marie, Kakisa, Tsiigehtchic. Can the Minister explain what those studies are planning for? Is it to plan a new health and social services centre or to plan a better use of the existing space, or is it program planning, or what is the planning study? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have questions today for the Minister of Finance. As the government has committed to bring forward legislation by fall of 2026 regarding phase 2 changes to the Public Service Act, specifically addressing section 41 and the right to freedom of association, can the Minister tell us what kind of public engagement on this initiative is planned for the coming winter? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So what are the improvements that we're making to the child and family services program space? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So to clarify, the first questions are, are we talking about Liwego'ati building? Why are improvements needed so soon after they just sort of moved in and set up shop there and what exactly are the improvements? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
