Thanks, Mr. Chair. The specifics of what I was referring to, in terms of sharing with committee, are things like the individual trust for the large emitters and some of the criteria, and I assume that would be done with the standing committees of the 19th Assembly. There is no real urgency in terms of implementing the trust program. Yes, we will have to collect the data, but in terms of taking applications and that, I think that we have a little bit of time to get that implemented. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. $34,000 of that is from Environment and Natural Resources and $3,000 from the Department of Infrastructure.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. The matching GNWT portion for 2018-2019 is $15,600 from ITI and $3,000 from Infrastructure on the O and M side. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In terms of the O and M money for this activity, I believe it's related to a variety of activities to help prepare for the planning related to the Slave Geological Province, including some work done by ITI for economic impacts and those sorts of things, and then I think there is some work planned that may be by 20192020 by ENR related to wildlife studies as well as work being done by Infrastructure for activities that are not capitalized in terms of the Slave Geological Province. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. For 2019-2020 operations funding, there will be $37,000 worth of GNWT funding for the contribution to include the federal share. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. If there was a need to carry over, there would be an additional supplementary appropriation in the May/June session. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, I believe this amount is for both the purchase of the equipment and the installation, so there will be some carry-overs on the installation side, but this will help them to get started with getting the contractors in place and ordering equipment. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. In terms of the Hydro Corporation and their short-term debt, there were some estimates built-in, and they were quite generous in terms of things that they might have to borrow for. There are some resource-related projects that they've responded to RFPs to provide power there, that they would have to borrow to have the generation available for that. They have some other things out there that they may have to borrow some money on. That was all built-in. Not all of those may necessarily happen, but we wanted to make sure they had the room to be able to do that.

In terms of the...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am not sure that I know all of the details of exactly what they would get access to. I know that there have been cases where they have been provided things like test scores and those sorts of things, but I don't know the level that they go down to. We could look into that and get back to the Member specifically around the panel's notes and those sorts of things, but I think it is mostly about scoring and that sort of stuff that they would get.

The other thing that we do, and this is outside the appeal process, is that, on every competition for Northerners, if somebody is...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'll deal with the first line here on short-term debts. Our short-term debt is essentially our cash shortfall, if you like. The main estimates project that, if the short-term debt is going to go from $318 million up to $325 million during the year, with short-term debt, you can imagine a scenario where, for example, if we had a very bad fire season and our supplementary appropriations were much greater than we expected to be. So what this is doing is saying, let's put in a contingency amount so what this Appropriation Act is saying is that, if you need to borrow on short...
