Mr. Speaker, will you just let the seconder speak first perhaps. Thank you.

In favour.

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. You know, I guess at this time I'm wondering if perhaps we could get a commitment of a detailed costing breakdown to be provided. I know, I believe in our capital infrastructure the GNWT is asking for 10s of million dollars for some new planes we were buying. There was some other I think there's about 50 million or there's 10s of millions for a fire centre. There's a lot of big other ticket items. Obviously going forward, we will probably adjust the fire suppression budget and perhaps have a date about or a debate about more, you know, prevention and more...

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. I'll just have a couple kind of technical questions. I'm wondering if the Minister has any ability to put this kind of into how much we are spending per day or per week? I get you're asking well, it's $100 million total but, you know, if I had to wager a guess we've probably spent the vast majority of that in the last week or two. I'm just trying to get a sense of, you know, the pace at which we are spending. Is there any of that detail that could be provided? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm just wondering if the Minister can provide us an update of the initial fire suppression budget and what this initial or this additional $75 million brings us up to as a total and then perhaps try to answer the question whether we think this is the grand total or whether another supplementary appropriation may be coming. Thank you.

In favour.

In favour.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess in I guess as a point of procedure, I received this bill a couple hours ago and when I looked it, it requires the emergency management organization to coordinate with Indigenous governments. It's not necessarily clear what "coordinate" means. My understanding of how the emergency management organization works. The team was kind of a fluid organization. You know, sometimes Joint Task Force North is there, sometimes a specific community government is there. It depends where and what emergency we are dealing with at any given time.

You know, I'm not necessarily...

In favour.

No further questions on the appropriation. Thank you.
