Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. So does HSS now have a contractor willing to operate the treatment centre, or at what stage in the process are they going to ensure that there's an operator in place? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I mean, I think I've made my point. It's obviously one small thing but in the bigger scheme of things, I would just point out that we have lots of urgent needs that have safety and liability concerns attached to them that we continually kind of look over because there's just not enough money to repair this thing or repair the roof in the school or, you know, the things that obviously also have major safety and liability issues attached to it, so it's not a matter of whether it's a safety or liability issue, often we're ranking the severity of those things, so I really am...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to ask quite simply, so under the sport, recreation and youth list, there is money for a new SUV for the lottery. Why does the lottery commission need an SUV? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So I wasn't quite clear from that response. I wonder if the Minister can clarify, is the GNWT already operating in a unified command or unified incident command structure with the city of Yellowknife, or is this something that it's working towards? Has the Minister committed that in all future emergencies there will be a unified command? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

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.

Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. So that is good to know. I'm certainly -- I certainly agree with the Minister that we need this service and that the closure left a big gap. We need a treatment centre for minors, for children. Can the Minister explain, is the plan to operate it as an eight-bed facility as it was operating before it closed, or is there, like, a new model of operation that would mean that the building would somehow be designed differently or offered different types of services, or are we essentially just trying to renovate it and get it to be offering the same types of services that...
