Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I recognize that there's three parties but, you know, there's 17 tables and I think getting two agreements out of 17 seems well, I'm hopeful we can at least get there.

I guess the Premier is still hopeful too that we're going to get two. I'm wondering if she would inform this House, or if she's willing to hint at what two she thinks that would be. And I'm also curious whether in that counting that the Premier is including agreementsinprinciple because I know we've signed a number of agreementsinprinciple that are well, they're over 20 years old now at this point...

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. I'm looking at page 58, and I see information technology projects is $2.5 million. So can I just clarify that we spend $2.5 million a year evergreening our current TSC servers, networks, and storage infrastructure? Thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm going to try this again. I heard the Premier hoping that soon we will have an MOU. But my understanding was that that was an MOU of how to go about and create an action plan which seems quite a ways off from the actual plan. So when can we expect to see an actual UNDRIP action plan, and will it be in the life of this Assembly more importantly, Mr. Speaker.

Yeah, thank you. One last one which I will ask for an update of, because this is not public information. It says here that the Mackenzie Valley environmental assessment and planning for the highway will be completed in 20252026. We all know that that's been in environmental planning for far longer than any of us wanted. But I'm just wondering if that's realistic given what I've seen regarding the change in timelines for a number of sections of the road and the bridges that are currently under environmental assessment. Do we actually think we're going to get to the EA by 20252026; do we have...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our mandate commits us to settle and implement treaty land resources and selfgovernment agreements, as well as make progress implementing the United Nations Declarations on the rights of Indigenous people. And, Mr. Speaker, when you look at progress to date, it's hard to see that almost anything at all has been done on these two priorities.

The mandate made an unambitious goal of settling two agreements in the life of this Assembly. To date, we have seen zero agreements. And with the last one being Deline selfgovernment in 2015, it's over seven years since this...

Yeah, thank you. I'm just trying to understand what it means when a project in the capital plan has, you know, ICIP or one of the federal funding pots in it. Does that actually signify that there's been agreement to get that money? I mean, the Whati transmission line, I hear that once we have a route we will then apply to get federal money. But so is it just we put a bracket that that's the hope of the pot we will get out of, or is there actually a bit more of a commitment or some preliminary agreement that this would actually get funding? If I could understand what that means, thank you.

Yeah, thank you. I guess I heard that well, there's two projects here and now they're going to be put together, and I get there was some relocation due to flooding and we actually haven't secured federal funding I heard yet. So can I just get 20252026 seems pretty ambitious to build a whole new LNG plant that we don't have money for yet. So is that timeline realistic? Thank you.

That's good, get those trucks.

Thank you. I'll just ask one more question that illustrates my frustration with the lack of transparency. I hear we're spending $40 million. Well, maybe it won't be frustrate me, but can someone tell me how much you're presently asking for or how much we plan to spend in this next fiscal? I can't see how that has any affect on procurement for me to know how much money you're presently asking the Assembly for. Thank you.

No further questions. Thank you, Madam Chair.
