Thank you, Member from Frame Lake. Minister of ECC.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this certainly has been a conversation that's been going on for a while, and I'm happy to report to this House that in June of this year, the city of Yellowknife and the Department of Environment and Climate Change signed a memorandum of collaboration that provides a commitment to work together and to prioritize the city's land transfer initiatives upon application as well as information exchange, coordination, problem solving, and planning to support timely and effective land transfers for the city. So that's the latest update. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that certainly is good news.
Mr. Speaker, are there any outstanding applications currently before the department of ECC at this time from the city?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that's not data that I currently have in front of me but happy to collect that and get it back to the Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister of ECC. Final supplementary. Member from Frame Lake.
