Thanks, Madam Chair. So I think I'm on the right fund now. What's the supplementary reserve, what do we start off with, and what was it before the sup and what's it going to be after the sup? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I don't have anything further on general stuff but I have some questions on the detail. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can I get an explanation as to why this is being shifted from what used to be or will soon be former Department of Lands to Department of Finance. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So how much of the $311,000 is going to the MRA implementation and royalty regime review, and then how much is going to the socioeconomic agreement program? Thanks, Madam Chair.
