Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your long pause on Yellowknife made me worry for a moment. Thank you.
Mr. Speaker, during this morning, many of my colleagues had a really I'd certainly say an enormously incredible presentation provided to the committee from the NWT climate youth advisory group. And I want to use just a moment of my time saying they were a fantastic bunch of young people. They were extremely well represented by the Hay River reps, and they spoke well and clear and they had wonderful focus. I think they are truly the promise of tomorrow.
But, Mr. Speaker, when I asked them do they have funding for their advisory group and their recommendations on how they present things to the government, etcetera, they said they don't get funded. Now, they get a per diem when they meet, which is a few dollars a day, but that said, all their work goes unfunded. So my question specifically to the Minister of ECC is does the Minister recognize and respect the hard work that that little coalition is doing? Thank you very much.
