I hear the Member's challenges and that. It is something that I inherited, and we are working on it. The department is working hard to get these issues addressed. There're lots of land issues, and we need to focus on where our energy is right now. We are focusing in on that. Currently, the department doesn't issue residential leases outside the community boundaries. Lease types are under discussions through the Public Land Act work that is expected to be completed by 2023. I encourage all residents to visit the Government of the Northwest Territories Lands website and click on "Have your say" selection to provide input on how the Government of the Northwest Territories regulates public land. Public consultation on the Public Land Act are currently under way. The first phase of engagement will be open until February 12.
