Merci, Madam la Presidente. I'm just going to say to the Minister, I've got a wood pellet boiler in the House. I'd be happy to show her. But my questions are, again, for the same Minister, Minister responsible for the Housing Corp, and they're about the federal coinvestment fund and the NWT carve out. Can the Minister confirm that the NWT carve out funding has now all been accessed and will result in 66 new housing units for small communities? Mahsi Madam Speaker.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I move that the chair rise and report progress.

Yeah, okay, I'll give the Minister 50 seconds if he can read it out quickly, please. Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I don't have any further questions, but I'm going to at the appropriate time, I'll have a motion to bring forward. Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the Minister for that. I'll probably have some more questions when we get to the Department of Lands on this on the exact frequency so that's more of a heads up, but that's all I got on water today. And I want to thank the Minister and his staff and yourself.

Thanks for that. So when is the RFP going to be issued and when would it close and when can we expect another depot or drop off place or whatever? A little bit of a schedule. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the Minister for that. I guess I'd like to seek a commitment from the Minister that he's going to provide an update in this House before the end of this sitting as to what's going on with this matter. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Okay, well, now that we're talking about the depots, Yellowknife only has one depot. It's out on Old Airport Road. It's not at a terribly convenient location. And I think it would be fair to say that I've personally noticed some degradation in the quality of service there, and that's not probably anything to do with the operator, but there seems to be some problems getting staff or, yeah, people in and out during COVID. It's been, I'm sure, a whole set a challenges. I had understood that there was some work being done to look at a second location in Yellowknife. Can the...

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the Minister for that. Let's just say I'm a little bit more than surprised that the provincial government would deny a request to sit on this committee. This is, I guess, one of the committees too that had some oversight on the monitoring upstream that Alberta unilaterally decided to stop as part of its industry relief around COVID. So what reasons were provided by the provincial government to deny membership or not support GNWT's membership on this committee? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Okay, can I ask how much? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
