Okay. All right, so I have another question, though, about something that isn't in here. Back in March of 2022, this House approved a sup that included $9.5 million for the Redknife River culvert replacement. And this was sup for 20212022, No. 3, and it was an unusual arrangement in that De Beers was putting up some of that money under a fisheries authorization for Gahcho Kue. But I see that GNWT now has an ongoing public engagement around this Redknife River, you know, replacement of the culverts and stuff and that closes, I think - or closed just in April it looks like. And a contract for...

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I guess I'm asking the Minister, then, to prepare a page in each of the supplementary estimates as they come forward, and this should be a public document, maybe as an appendix or something, that demonstrates that even with the approval of the supplementary estimate, the GNWT's going to remain in compliance with the Fiscal Responsibility Policy. Is that something the Minister is prepared to do moving forward? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Okay. I know it's almost the end of the day, but why are we being asked to authorize $4.2 million if there's potential deficiencies on the part of the contractor? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Yeah, thanks. I wasn't - didn't have any calculator but we're talking about $500 million. So how does this differ from the capital estimates and the sups that have been happening in the past when, you know, I think this is where - we're in the same ballpark now, when the new Fiscal Responsibility Policy was supposed to impose like a $260 million cap on capital spending. And so now the department's asking us to approve sups that are going to push it up over that amount; am I getting this correct? Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So if it's formally complete, why are we being asked to authorize another $4.2 million for this road? Thanks.

Thanks, Madam Chair, while the clock is ticking. I guess I wanted to know how much of the capital estimates that were approved in 20222023 were not carried over and where does the public find out this information, like the amount as well as a list of the projects? Thank you.

Yeah, okay, thanks. That might be good news. I can't count the number of times we've stopped there, sometimes just quick pit stops, but whenever we been there there's people from the community using that spot, especially in the summer. So whatever you guys can do to get this work done would be great because it's heavily used by the community and by, you know, folks that drive by as well. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Okay, thanks. So were there any projects that were lapsed that are not carried forward, and where would we find that information and the total? Thank you.

Yeah, okay, no, thanks. I look forward to getting that information and if there's a way to kind of show the cash flow over time, I think that would be really helpful.

I guess more of a comment from me now, Madam Chair. I'm not quite as anxious to jump to claim sorry, map staking from claim staking as my colleague from Yellowknife North because I think there's still some really significant policy questions that really haven't been explored in any way. You know, and part of that is, you know, how much is it going to are the fees going to remain the same because we don't want to create - well, I...

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can I just get a sense of how much money was lapsed in the 20222023 fiscal year on the capital side? Thanks, Madam Chair.
