Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just want to have a couple of opening remarks. I was looking at page 261, just before the 262 and 263, and you have 331 positions for Yellowknife and 122 for the rest, the regions and the small communities. The way it lists it is North Slave as 246 and headquarters as 85, but very deceiving the way all the booklets that we've been receiving right from the beginning, since I started here; 246 for North Slave and 85 for headquarters, that's 331 positions in this area. Wow, that's a lot of positions.

The ministry used the term "sharing" in a previous reply. Sharing is extremely important when it comes to the wealth of the Northwest Territories. We depend on government positions in the smaller communities and regions, also. At some point, there has to be either more positions developed for the outlying regions and for the small communities. I, too, agree that the Integrated Case Management program is a great program. That's why I said that, if we don't get at least one position in Fort Smith and one in Inuvik, then I'm not going to be voting for the budget. I firmly believe that we have to start somewhere, and I don't see us doing that.

My question is: evaluations are great. I'm sure the evaluation of the integrated case management program had a great evaluation because terms and conditions that are referenced in an evaluation are usually provided by the department, and you know what the outcome is going to be. I like the outcome, but I really would like an outcome, too, for the region of people that I represent in Thebacha. As we should also look after the Inuvik region, for a start. Do you believe in decentralizing some of these programs that are all offered here? I want to know your answer to that.

Madam Speaker, the Minister of Finance stated that the P3 for Stanton project came in on budget. Do you as Finance Minister truly believe this is a correct statement?

Is the Finance Minister comfortable in defending a flawed agreement/contract with regard to the P3 of the Stanton hospital?

One hundred and forty million dollars for the City of Yellowknife for the 35-year period for grants in lieu/taxes, is this not an extra expense?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Finance. The Minister of Finance tried to explain the grant in lieu. The grant in lieu is the same concept as taxes. Am I correct?

Madam Speaker, finally, I would like to address the mayor of Yellowknife's media statement of February 19, 2020. The new Stanton hospital tax bill for the amount of $4.5 million is the highest taxed building in the NWT. The mayor of Yellowknife made a statement that she did not have to raise taxes because of a new assessed property value of the new Stanton hospital. My question is: as all monies out of public funds belong to the people of the NWT, are you comfortable as the Minister of Finance with this statement?

I want the Minister of Finance to justify and explain to the people of Thebacha and the NWT how all the shortfalls in this territorial hospital are going to be dealt with and who is going to be paying for those shortfalls?

Can the Minister tell us who owns the majority of shares of Dexterra, as well as where is the company based out of, and what the emergency number that is used by Stanton hospital staff after 5:00 p.m.?

Madam Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Finance. My first question is: since the Stanton P3 and the legacy, 100-bed, long-term unit for Yellowknife have crippled our government for moving forward, could the Minister tell me who makes up the Boreal Health partnerships?
