Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think that that's laid out in legislation and the Member can have a look at that as a Regular Member. I know that he's here to hold us to account, and so I look forward to what he comes up with through his research. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Premier. Oral questions. Member from Great Slave.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of ITI. Currently, the Twin Falls Territorial Park trail is closed due to the erosion along the riverbank. This includes five kilometres of trail between Alexandra Falls, Louise Falls, and Escarpment Creek. All three viewing platforms also remain closed.

Mr. Speaker, this is a beloved stretch of parks within the NWT that many visitors also enjoy as their introduction to the territory by road. The photos along that riverbank have been shared by NWT Parks of the erosion that's occurred between last year and this year, and they are stark. So, Mr. Speaker, can the Minister provide more details about the assessment of the Twin Falls Territorial Park trail that needs to take place? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Member from Great Slave. Minister of ITI.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is absolutely right. The entire 5-kilometer riverside trail connecting Alexandra Falls day use area, Louise Falls campground, and Escarpment Creek camping area, including all platforms at Alexandra Falls and Louise Falls in the Twin Falls Territorial Park are closed to the public. This is incredibly important information to get out to the public because there is ongoing erosion underneath the -- ongoing riverbank erosion, and this is also combined with the discovery of underground caverns that are causing instability and safety concerns for public access.

Mr. Speaker, if you give me a moment, please, there is a contractor that is secured to conduct geohazard and geotechnical assessment of the Twin Falls Territorial Park between Alexander Falls and Escarpment Creek. That work will take place this summer and inform next steps. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that is good news; however, if the current trails are no longer passable would there be contemplation that they would be rebuilt closer to the highway? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question from the Member but certainly don't want to make assumptions as to what that geotechnical information may tell us. And the timeline and the action that is required will certainly depend on what information we get back from the geotechnical assessment, and I can confirm for the House that we're working closely with infrastructure on this. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister of ITI. Final supplementary. Member from Great Slave.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And, Mr. Speaker, I can appreciate that but when I hear underground caverns, that's pretty serious and alarming. So if the erosion is truly severe, Mr. Speaker, will the Minister be making further park closures and/or make them permanent? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, we've taken action to close the 5-kilometre trail and also the viewing platform to make sure that the areas that we know are unsafe are closed off to the public and so we ask the public to please respect that signage. Also, with the information that we get back from the assessment that we're working on through infrastructure, we'll be able to identify if further action is required and we'll make sure that we are transparent with the public with that information as we receive it so that if there is ongoing public safety concerns, the public is aware. Thank you.

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

Thank you, Member from the Sahtu. Minister responsible for Housing NWT.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with the Fort Good Hope Construction Centre, that's not a facility owned by Housing NWT. In terms of its completion, I would speak to the Ne'Rahten Development Corporation in Fort Good Hope. But Housing NWT, we have confirmed there is work and the work on the duplexes has begun. So it's two duplexes in Fort Good Hope at the construction centre in line with Housing NWT's capital delivery. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thanks for the reply to the Minister. Now that the project in the carpentry has started, is there in the contract or arrangement with NDL, is there a trades training plan in place, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With Housing NWT, like Minister Cleveland indicated earlier we're working alongside all our partners and businesses to make sure that apprenticeships and there's trades training in place for all contracts with Housing NWT. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Minister responsible for Housing NWT. Final supplementary. Member from the Sahtu.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks for that reply. It's good to know that the young people have a training plan targeted for trades.

My last question, will the department continue supporting this industry once the Build Canada Homes fund is in place by supporting further funding to that enterprise? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Build Canada Homes, it's going to advance housing across the Northwest Territories. Currently, we're negotiating an agreement with Build Canada Homes. And with that, once that agreement comes into place with Housing NWT, we will reach out to all partners, including the Fort Good Hope Construction Centre, to advance projects needed across the North. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Minister responsible for Housing NWT. Oral questions. Member from Mackenzie Delta.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have a lot of children in child care across the Northwest Territories, and we also have children from the Northwest Territories in care in other jurisdictions, with families trying to desperately get them back within a culturally safe environment where families can care for them.

How can the Minister and her department assist families who have children in care in another jurisdiction, children who were taken -- who are under the local bands and have been taken away under false pretenses, how can the Minister assist these families? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Member from Mackenzie Delta. Mr. Premier.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Unfortunately, I don't have that level of detail at my fingertips. I appreciate the Member's concern on this issue. As I stated, the majority of Indigenous children are now in care with Indigenous families but I understand that there are still situations where that's not possible and is not possible within the territory. So I will have to get back to the Member with that information. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister explain what procedures are currently followed when a child is in another jurisdiction other than the Northwest Territories and the family is trying to get them back into a culturally safe environment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
