Thanks. How much of that's carried over? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Okay. Yeah, that's kind of not what my notes show but we're doing the same number, that's great. If we're not, I guess I'd like to understand why. Maybe I'll just ask if the Minister could double check. Thanks.

Merci, Madam la Presidente. I thought we'd never get here. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Infrastructure at this time. Mahsi, Madam Chair.

Yeah, okay, thanks for that. Maybe we should just give a lot of that money to Arctic Energy Alliance and they can get it out the door more quickly.

But I do have another area I want to explore, Madam Chair, and that's the federal government, federal minister of northern affairs recently announced that a regional study would proceed for the area between Yellowknife and the border with Nunavut. And I'm just wondering what implication that has for any work that might be done by the department on I think it's called the Tibbitt to Lockhart Road, or whatever you're calling it these days. Thanks...

Perfect, thanks, I'm ready to go. So I think that we're how many kilometres of chip seal are we doing this year?

Thank you, Madam Chair. And thanks to the Minister. Okay, that was the first part. Second part, when are we going to start spending that money? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So if I wasn't confused before, I am now. I know that LCELF is Low Carbon Economy Leadership fund. It's federal money. So what's the issue here we can't get the projects out the door? They keep changing the program? What's the issue here? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. It's kind of a weird situation that we're having some debate and discussion back and forth in this kind of forum, but I think it's an important debate and discussion that the public needs to hear, and maybe we can still reach some kind of a compromise. But, you know, I guess the other thing I want the public to know is that the ability of the Regular Members to change this bill is zero. We cannot change it in any significant way. The way that it was crafted, the way that it was put together, it's a carbon copy of what happened in the last Assembly. In the last...

Thanks, Madam Chair. I can hardly wait for that meeting. But I do want to ask now about Yellowknife Airport Revolving Fund on page 283. It's now a staggering $49 million of accumulated surplus. When are we going to start to get some of that money out the door to actually improve what's happening at the airport? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Well, let's sorry?
