Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Unfortunately, I don't have that level of detail at my fingertips. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister explain what immediate intervention options exist when a person is no longer making safe decisions because of addictions, and what families can do before it is too late. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And that's a very important question and I think as MLAs we often deal with situations like that. Families come to us where there's a loved one who has gone down a path that is scaring the family and people are worried for their well-being, so I want to make sure that I get the Member all the details so I will get back to the Member with a written response on that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Premier. Final supplementary. Member from Monfwi.

Can the Minister commit to reviewing stronger addiction intervention approaches used in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and other jurisdictions, to determine what tools could be adapted to better respond to addiction crisis in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I know that Alberta is, you know, doing different things with addictions. I don't have all the details about what they're doing so I am going to -- once again, I will get back to the Member with a written response on that one. I think it's another important avenue that we need to explore. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Premier. Oral questions. Member from Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Myself and -- my colleagues and myself I should say, that we have a lot of questions on the health and social services file with respect to the child and family services. Mr. Speaker, the Premier is taking these questions. Maybe the Premier could explain to this House why the health Minister isn't taking these questions.

Member from Yellowknife Centre, I am the one directing the questions therefore it was me that has given the questions to the Premier. Member from Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Premier has pointed out that this rosy report on the 2026 auditor general -- I should say report exists. I challenge him to table it because we're reading two different reports. So my question specifically is back to non-compliance of statutory deadlines.

The law explicitly mandates that an allegation of suspected child maltreatment are received and assessed within 24 hours. Will the Premier look at the situation and explain what's the difference between systematic breach and his idea of everything is fine? Thank you.

Thank you, Member from Yellowknife Centre. Mr. Premier.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't recall saying everything is fine because everything is obviously not fine. I am not going to mischaracterize the situation. I don't want to exaggerate things. I want to stick to the facts, stick to what the report says. And a number of the comments the Member made, I don't know where he heard those; they weren't words that came out of my mouth so it's really hard to respond when the premise of the question is not on solid ground. So thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, if the Premier doesn't want to answer a question and find every little tweak, I mean it is what it is, Mr. Speaker. But the truth be told is the facts still stand out there.

Mr. Speaker, by law, the department must assess child abuse within 24 hours yet there are several files that show that it's an average of 16 days and 71 percent failure rate to meet the investigation deadline. Mr. Speaker, how does the Premier stand there and not take accountability for the systematic violation of our own statutory deadline? What are we going to do, and is he going to shuffle the Minister? Thank you.

Thank you. Two questions there; both were previously asked and answered. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, these questions are for the Minister of Infrastructure, building on my last set of questions for the Minister of ITI.

So Highway No. 1 from the Alberta-NWT border to Enterprise includes this 5-kilometre stretch alongside the trail. And so my question to the Minister then is, is the highway that brings people into the territory, brings supply chains into the territory, safe to drive? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So this section of road is an area that is being monitored. All our road systems in the Northwest Territories are safe to drive. We are aware of the situation. It's been monitored for the last little while. And, you know, the whole river system into Hay River is always a concern so we always monitor that section, including a few other parts. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And so hearing earlier today that there are underground caverns developing along this stretch, Mr. Speaker, is rerouting the highway an option if geotechnical assessment requires it? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is definitely an option. There is room for a realignment and there's the option of looking at one if there's an opportunity or if there's a case where we have to move the road. So the department's currently looking at that as we speak. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

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

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, so in the sense that geotechnical can sometimes take a while and this seems to be moving fast from last year to the next, is there any contingency plans that the Minister has for the road should it become unsafe? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is, you know, one that's become very public but as somebody who's grown up in the area, it happens quite often along that river system, and it is a section that is close to the road however we are monitoring it. There is room to relocate the road, and if there's a possibility that we have to do it in an emergency situation, there is the ability and the room to do that. So thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Minister of Infrastructure. Oral questions. Member from Range Lake.
