Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Infrastructure. Can the Minister of Infrastructure confirm that the runway at the Fort Smith Airport is fully aligned with federal safety standards and that it's fully safe and operational for both government and civilian aircraft to use? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Member for Thebacha. Minister responsible for Infrastructure.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member from Thebacha is very concerned about her airport, and I respect that she's bringing forward this question to me because there was some confusion last week on the Fort Smith Airport.

I can confirm for the Member that the Fort Smith runway was always fully operational and it's able to accommodate all civilian and commercial aircrafts up to and including the Boeing 737, the Airbus 8320s, all in accordance with Transport Canada regulations. Mr. Speaker, I thank the Member for that question, just to clarify that, you know -- and if there was something wrong with the airport, the Member will be the first one to call me to be able to clarify. So I didn't get a phone call. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I don't have any other question, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Oral questions. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in this day and age about 40 percent of youth between the age of 20 and 29 still live at home across Canada because it's very expensive cost of living out there. Housing is hard to come by. And some youth just need to stay at home longer for educational purposes. And some youth, our kids just don't want to leave home, Mr. Speaker, and that's fine. Not all youth have this ability to stay at home or to stay with their foster families. And so I'd like to ask the Minister responsible for Homelessness if he's willing to work on a youth portal that youth can access, and the starting point of that portal can be access for things like housing or how to get your ID or how to access different supports you might have access to.

So I'm wondering if the Minister responsible for Homelessness is willing to work on this type of a portal to serve youth? Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Kam Lake. Minister responsible for Homelessness.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Member for the question. I hear her passion addressing housing for youth. I will have to speak with my -- and talk with my colleague, Minister of health, and look at what initiatives that we do presently have. But as of right now, I just have to follow up with my colleague in respect. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I was wondering if that question could be addressed to the Minister responsible for Youth.

Okay. Thank you, Member for Kam Lake. Minister responsible for Youth.

Thank you. I'm in housing now? Okay. Youth housing. Can the Member re-ask the question because I thought it was going to housing. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister. Oral questions. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would really love to see a portal created for youth so that youth have access to information that they're looking for. So I'm wondering if the Minister responsible for Youth is willing to work on a portal so that youth can access stuff like applications for housing, low income housing, applications for identification; there could be a link to information on student financial assistance. The options are endless. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Member for Kam Lake. Minister responsible for Youth.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, and thank you very much to the Minister for that. I'm wondering if the Minister will prioritize reaching out to the Minister of Health and Social Services and prioritizing working on the pieces that would be of most help to youth in care and youth aging out of care? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Oh man, I don't know, another yes. Don't say no, okay. I will make the commitment that I'll work with all my colleagues because it's just not health and social services, it's ECE and housing. So we need to have that approach. My colleagues have heard the question here and the staff that are hearing this, we'll be reaching out to my colleagues, the staff there, and we'll start working on that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And I would like to say thank you to the other side. I think that there's great opportunity that can come from this, especially for youth who are aging out of care. I'm wondering if the Minister will commit to tabling a status report on this in the following sitting? Thank you.

That I cannot make a guarantee on. We're going to have work on it. I mean, she got a couple yeses out of me, this one here is going to be the reality is we're going to work on it. If we are able to table something, we will. But right now, it's some work that has to be done. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
