Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I support this recommendation as well. And I just want to highlight the recommendation calls for the Public Utilities Board to work with the two utilities here. You know, I don't know exactly what the Public Utilities Board does, but as I understand it, the Minister responsible for the Public Utilities Board or Cabinet could issuing binding policy direction to set up this crisis fund. And I think that's something that I'd want my colleagues across the way to think about. And of course, you're going to respond to this if it passes, and but you have the ability to...

Thanks. And then for the Inuvik Wind Project, it seems to be a really round figure of $19 million. Is any money being spent in the current year on that project. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Okay, thanks for that. So beyond that re-cash flowing, are there other, like, carryovers that are taking place? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Just reminded me that there was one other factor that I think led to the 2018 policy change that's highlighted in this recommendation, and that's the fact that the Housing Corporation was paying corporate rates for electricity as opposed to residential rates and the corporate rates, I think, are, like, two I might not even get the right number, but it's two or three times higher than what residential rates were. So, again, this was about trying to cut the Housing Corporation costs in some measure. So that was the other thing that was driving this, was the different rates...

Thanks, Madam Chair. I guess I'll ask the same question here for the Slave Geological Province Corridor. Was any money expended or will any money be expended in the current year, and what is it generally doing? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So this money that's being taken out of the current financial year, so this appears before us now as the capital estimates of this $113 million that's been transferred into the capital estimates for 2022-2023; is that what I hear the Minister saying? Thanks.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I guess, as I understand it, NEBS also operates in Nunavut, and I think the Minister talked about how there was some consultation with Nunavut in preparing the bill. I don't think Nunavut has passed similar legislation and, of course, they had their election not that long ago, but is there any indications from the new government as to what they're doing with their legislation? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can anybody tell me was any work done or is any work going to be done in 2021-2022 with regard to the Frank Channel bridge? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 438-19(2), Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 2, 2021-2022; Tabled Document 439-19(2), Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 2, 2021-2022; Tabled Document 466-19(2), Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures and Borrowing Authorization), No. 4, 2020-2021; Bill 31, an Act to Amend the Pharmacy Act; Bill 32, an Act to Amend the Northern Employees Benefit Services Pension Plan Act; Bill 33, National Indigenous People's Day Act; Committee Report 17-19(2) Report on the Review of Bill 23...

Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I'm just trying to understand why this was not anticipated at the beginning of this project, why we're now trying to approve extra money for a financial year that's, like, six, eight months over now, ten months over, eight months, whatever. I just don't get why this wasn't planned from the beginning. Thanks, Madam Chair. And if anybody can help me, go for it.
