Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And, respectfully, I'm open to be working with every single Member throughout this government as well too in trying to find further solutions and better options. I myself do come from a smaller community. I am Indigenous as well too. And our ridings are quite close, and we do have further discussions as well, and there's quite a large amount of similarities as well too. I've also committed to be working with the Member. But also with those conversations, I would like to highlight the situation that we are in a crisis in the Northwest Territories. We have fought and tried to work with the federal government into addressing those issues throughout the Northwest Territories. I see that we have been quite successful in receiving approximately $500 million to the Indigenous groups within the lifetime of this government. It's a work in progress. The department is trying to address all of these issues. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Jane Weyallon Armstrong Monfwi
Mr. Speaker, thank you for the information. I will be doing -- this is just more of a comment, but I will be doing a written question -- written statements for the Ministers on this, because this is an important issue for many of my constituents. Not just my constituents but also the NWT as well who are finding themselves in this situation. Well, you know yourself too; you probably have some constituents that are going through the same thing. So we do need to address this. And this is an important issue for the people of the Northwest Territories, especially those living in the small communities. So I will do written questions on this. Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Monfwi. Take it as a comment.
Colleagues, our time for oral questions has expired. I know we could go on all day here, but. But for the future, like when you want to go on again, I highly recommend you try to get on the list first. Like, signal to me, and I'll put you on. That way, you know, your signal again that you want to go on a second time because by the time you are almost last, you know, you're fourth or fifth on the second round, so. Just a head's up.
