Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, we haven't picked on travel too much yet this sitting, and it's been a big topic of conversation in the past. I note that we had a little bit less for this one in the 2021-2022.
Can the Minister or the department explain why that was less? And is the $219,000 here for the travel, is that so that the executive can get out to the different communities and chat with local staff, or maybe they can explain a little bit about what they're travelling for. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I just wanted to comment that engagement it needs to be done within the lifetime of this government because we are rolling out the strategic renewal. We need to communicate and improve that with the local communities as well too. But not only that, our programs and services as well, we're just recovering over COVID and there's a lot of work to get done out there as well. I'll just have President Young respond. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And, yes, the lower number for 2021-2022 really does reflect the slowness of picking back up and getting back into normal business. But primarily the purpose for travel here would be participation through FPT meetings with our colleagues, territorial meetings, but more importantly, as the Minister talks about, engagement with our Indigenous government partners, with our LHOs, with our shelters, you know, all of the stuff that housing does and getting out to meet with folks on the ground. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I can think of one travel item that isn't going to cost you any money and that would be if the Minister and staff would come and do a tour of my riding, please. I've requested this now for a while and at one point, staff did come with me; however, I've not had the Minister tour any of the buildings in my riding and I would like to add in Lanky Court as I asked for in session at one point. Thank you.
