Thank you so much, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, industry, tourism and investment staff do get the money out the door. The question then becomes whether or not proponents can spend it in the calendar year that they have, and there's different reasons why that could be impacted. It could be impacted by their ability to stack with other funding that they want to stack with based on commodity prices. It can also be impacted by events here in the territory. Like I explained before, wildfires had an impact on people's ability to spend some of those dollars as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of ITI. Final supplementary. Member from Range Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, does the Minister believe this program -- sorry, does the Minister believe this program should be expanded at a time when mining is in decline, at a time when exploration has dropped by 50 percent when we need more people out there looking; does the Minister believe this program should be expanded? Thank you.

Absolutely, Mr. Speaker, I want more exploration in the territory. I think our biggest wins in speaking to Chamber of Mines, in speaking to proponents, in speaking to industry leaders in the territory, our biggest wins is to get on infrastructure projects that should have been completed decades ago. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of ITI. Oral questions. Member from the Sahtu.

Thank you, Member from the Sahtu. Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the questions from the Member. So the intention is to have -- and working very closely with the Department of Infrastructure to have the Colville Lake modulars move to the territory long before winter road season starts, and so we're looking at doing that this fall, and having them set up in the Northwest Territories and ready to get onto this coming winter road. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for the update. Critical to the mobilization for these three pieces of modulars are -- my understanding and looking at the information the Minister provided is two of these modulars are extremely wide and extremely long. It would be 24 feet wide to be specific. And knowing the windy blind spots on the winter road, will the Minister commit to working with the counterpart for Minister of Infrastructure on minimizing preparatory measures for the transportation such as additional resources to flood the three river crossings to ensure that safety measures are taken prior to the shipment? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Education, Culture and Employment is working very closely with the Department of Infrastructure on this. This is certainly out of ECE's wheelhouse but safety is always, you know, a top of mind item for the Government of the Northwest Territories, and I can certainly follow up with the Minister of Infrastructure. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Final supplementary. Member from the Sahtu.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for that response here. And will the Minister provide a draft journey management schedule so that leadership on the other end would know that this government is taking preparation measures for winter road shipment? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I'd be happy to work with the departments and working groups in order to put something together as an all-of-government response for leadership from the Sahtu. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Oral questions. Member from Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment if she could give this House an update where the polytech is on the work plan of the department and the college and when can we see some type of movement forward on this particular initiative that's important to the growth of training and education in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Thank you, Member from Yellowknife Centre. Minister of Education, Culture and Employment.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the mandate agreement that was issued in collaboration with the Aurora College board of governors earlier this year, there is a timeline associated with it, in the back of it, that shows all of our milestones that we intend to reach, and we are on task to reaching them together. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wouldn't call that esoteric but there was some interesting -- I didn't follow any of that language other than there's a timeline, we're meeting the timeline, and the timeline's on time. I mean, you know, what public information can be delivered in this House today as to where or what we can expect? In other words, have they met all their qualifications to now transition formally into a polytech? Are they doing a public announcement in the next six months or three months that they will be talking about the next phase such as how do they fully transition Aurora College to a -- like, those kinds of things. I think the public is curious as to where it is in this point in time because the topic has disappeared. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to be respectful of trying to keep my time low.

So in the implementation plan in the mandate agreement, it starts with identify first the made-in-the North degree, so the very first one for Aurora College. They identified that in the spring to Members of this House and have subsequently identified it publicly as well as their Bachelor of business administration specializing in Indigenous governance, which we're all very excited about and very excited to see that come.

They are currently working on their process with Campus Alberta Quality Council application. That process is due to start this fall. And they've signalled, you know, who they want on their team, which is part of the process. And now they are working to align schedules with the Campus Alberta Quality Council. So that as well is still on time.

The board of governors continues to work together on moving forward with both infrastructure, their federal engagement, establishing mechanisms for third party funding, and continues also to work on their program expansion. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Final supplementary. Member from Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd qualify that as the third best answer I've heard today. So that was pretty good.

So, Mr. Speaker, the next question is simply this: Is the government, is the Minister, is the department, still committed to this project? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at the end of the day the transformation really is about offering programs that Northerners want to see and that we as a territory need for people to have access to. So those are things like continuing with nursing, reinstating the education program, and beyond that especially within the trades. And so absolutely we're committed to the education of northern students. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. Oral questions. Member from Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to continue on with questioning from yesterday for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs regarding the recommendations from the after-action review.

The review recommended that the government come up with a structured process to review, prioritize, and act on the findings of not just this review but all the previous after-action reviews so we don't keep repeating mistakes over and over. The government said it agreed but then explained how findings are being brought to the territorial planning committee, but this process doesn't seem to be transparent or leading to efficient and effective improvements.

So, first, will the government establish a public dashboard or some other mechanism that is accessible to everyone in the public that lists all the recommendations coming out of past after-action reviews, the government's response, and charting the progress towards actually achieving the recommendations? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
