Thank you, Mr. Chair. $1.85 million. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, of the $4.6 million, we have 3.7 being offset by funding from the federal government, and the net impact on the supplementary reserve would be approximately $1.5 million. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, I do, Mr. Chair.

I would, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. The exact details, I don't have at my disposal, but I do know that part of it, I think, was for planning, studying, and construction of the 15-kilometre all-weather road from Wrigley north to Mount Gaudet Access Road. As for the exact details, I would have to make a commitment to the Member that I will have a conversation with Infrastructure and be sure we provide those. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that, on Friday, October 26, 2018, I will move that Bill 26, Statistics Act, be read for the first time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I am not sure that there was a question there; it was more of a comment. As I said before, we will have a conversation with the appropriate parties to see what their exact scope of work is, and if there are opportunities to expand on that, we will have those conversations. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

My understanding is that there have been some proposals that have been brought forward. We will have a look at those proposals. We will see if there are opportunities for us to put any financial resources towards them. This is an issue as the Member said that you don't have to look any further in the Northwest Territories to see the legacy of residential schools. We'll do what we can to try and put some resources towards some of the plan. We have to make sure we have a plan first. We can't just throw money at something. We need to make sure that we have a plan, and those resources are being...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, that may well be. I mean, we do a class C estimate, and if there are opportunities there to upgrade that estimate to get a more accurate indication of the type of funds we need, if it falls within the money that we have appropriated, I think we should go in that direction. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are all well aware of the negative impacts of family violence across the Northwest Territories through the Social Development Committee of Cabinet. They have been working on trying to come up with some initiatives.

When the departments have initiatives, they come forward to FMB, and they pitch those initiatives, and we, in turn, have a look at them. If we have the financial resources, we look at trying to fund some of the initiatives that are brought forward to FMB. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
