Thank you. No, so youth can also apply directly to -- they can apply directly. They don't have to wait for a judge to order it. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I do feel like we're going in a bit of circle here. But I'll follow up further offline with the Minister. I do feel like there's still significant misunderstanding about how children can access the services of the Office of the Children's Lawyer because obviously if they're already in court, it feels likes it might be too late to wait for them -- for the judge to appoint the lawyer. And if they're expected to apply themselves, that also feels like an unrealistic expectation. So I do look forward to following up afterwards to try to clear this up because I do think it's important that the public and people in general do understand how these services can be accessed and that all of the proper support people within the government and otherwise are able to assist children in doing that if that is what they need. So I'll leave it there. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Minister of Justice, do you want to respond to that?

So I'll just say that the court appoints legal counsel in two types of cases. The first is that involve a child protection matter initiated by child and family services, and the second is an access or parenting time dispute between parents. And in both of those instances, there's no obligation on a young child to, you know, try and navigate the justice system on their own. Thank you.

Thank you. I have no further questions, please turn to page 318.

Justice, legal services, operations expenditure summary, 2025-2026 Main Estimates, $8,078,000. Does the committee agree?

Thank you. Moving on to the Office of the Regulator of Oil and Gas Operations, on page 320 with information items on 322. Are there any questions? Member for Inuvik Boot Lake.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just firstly, I recall -- I'll ask the Minister, has there ever been any of these positions outside of headquarters? I believe at one point there was one in the Beaufort Delta, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Can the Minister confirm.

Minister of Justice.

Thank you. I don't have that information on hand. I apologize to the Member.

Member for Inuvik Boot Lake.

Thank you. Again, I was just curious and given what's happening -- and I understand that -- you know, the Office of the Oil and Gas Regulator supports the regulator on offshore, and given certainly the activity that's happening right now in the Beaufort Delta with the Inuvialuit and their new gas plant that they're firing up in the next year or so, as well as interest again, likely nationally, on LNG and what's happening, is there any -- given any thought to potentially having an office located outside of the headquarters, preferably, obviously, in the Beaufort Delta where most of the oil and gas is, Madam Chair? Thank you.

Minister of Justice.

Thank you. If the Office of the Regulator of Oil and Gas Operations would bring that forward, that would be something that would be considered. As it is, this is very much arm's length and, you know, as Minister, I don't interfere in their operations. But that said, we're always happy to have the conversations if they're raised. Thank you.

Member for Inuvik Boot Lake.

How often does the department then -- given that it is arm's length, there's obviously reporting coming through, how often does the Minister or the department communicate with the members at OROGO?

Minister of Justice.

Thank you. I don't. I never communicate with the folks at OROGO. Perhaps the deputy minister might want to speak to this. Thank you.

Deputy minister Doolittle.
