Thanks, Madam Chair. I appreciate the commitment from the Minister and as much as I would like to see it, I think the public also needs to see this. So I'll take her commitment there.

I do want to make some remarks now. I do want to compliment the Minister for the new approach, limiting capital spending to the $260 million cap that I think better reflects our ability to actually get money out the door. And I know that the department is also doing much better tracking of the reasons for carryovers and can then, you know, work towards trying to look at what the barriers are and how to change that...

Merci, Madame la Presidente, I move that the chair rise and report progress.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Can the Minister commit to provide some publiclyavailable information around these new projections that she has been talking about with regard to our finances and our fiscal situation resulting from the Hay River flooding? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Look, if you guys need some extra money to get this work done by hiring a few consultants to go in and work with communities to get inventories done, please do it, bring it forward in a supplementary appropriation so we can get this done quick. Thanks, Madam Chair. That's all I have.

Merci, Madam la Presidente. Committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 72319(2), 20232024 Capital Estimates, with general comments, Legislative Assembly, Justice, and Municipal and Community Affairs. Merci.

Yeah, thanks for that. I guess I'm trying to find a way to talk about this, because I know what the number is, but let's just say it's significantly less than the number of communities that are outlined on page 70, from what I understand. So if, you know, a significant number of communities don't have completed asset plans, and that's my understanding, how do we actually know what the municipal funding gap is and how do we, you know how do we get every community to have a community asset plan? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le Presidente. I have one more question for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. Would the Minister commit to share a copy of the draft agreement with Fireweed Zinc, a definitive agreement, with the Standing Committee on a confidential basis, before that's finalized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I agree that that would be really helpful for the communities to individually have it. It also would be helpful for MLAs to have in terms of making sure that we get as much money as we can into MACA to get it out to the communities again. So is that sort of information going to be available publicly? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the Minister for that information. It's not clear who may be responsible for the residual junk at the property and any closure reclamation that might be required. Can the Minister tell us whether our government is on the hook for any responsibility and liability for the current condition of the property? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks, Madam Chair, and thanks for that explanation. So, yeah, I get that. The last time I looked, I think the consumer price index for Yellowknife was about 7.8 percent or something. And I don't know what it is across the NWT. But, you know, I just don't see any allowance here for any kind of an increase for community governments in terms of inflation. No forced growth. How does the department ensure then that the communities are able to, you know, use or, you know, make up the provide the programs and services and do the infrastructure replacement if the money that they get from MACA's...
