Thanks, Madam Chair. I move that consideration of Tabled Document 43919(2), Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 2, 20212022, be now concluded; and, that Tabled Document 43919(2) be reported and recommended as ready for further consideration in formal session through the form of an appropriation bill. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I've been asking probably now for five years if there's a way to categorize carryovers, and now I guess we're calling them re-cashflowing by reasons so that we could then sort of pinpoint what some of the major reasons might be and actually address them and find better ways to actually get the money spent in the year in which it's actually appropriated. So is there any of that kind of tracking done now, because I've been asking for it for five years. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Sorry, I guess I'm getting lost. Thanks, Madam Chair. I'm getting lost in the numbers. So I didn't quite catch the number, and if the Minister could also indicate what it's being spent on. Thanks.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So I guess just so I understand what's happening here now, we're going through each of the departments and parts of departments to show where this money is going to be re-cashflowed out of the current financial year into future years; is that what we're doing going through this supplementary appropriation? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So is any money being spent on this in the current year? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So I always thought you couldn't kind of, like, carry over money from one year to the next. A big chunk of this is probably federal funding. So, like, how many years into the future can you carry this stuff forward before authorization runs out and you got to give the money back to the feds. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I sat in on the committee hearing and some of the deliberations that they had on the private Member's bill. I think it's probably fair to well, let me start by saying up until two or three years ago, I didn't even know what a limiter was. So a little bit of privilege I guess there. But I was very surprised to learn that we these things were here in the Northwest Territories and that people sort of had to live with this reality of if they go into arrears, utility can install a limiter that turns their power on for 15 minutes and then turns it off for 15 minutes. And...

Thanks, Madam Chair. So less than about a million dollars. What's that actually being spent on, may I ask. Thanks, Madam Chair.
