Thank you, Madam Chair. I think I kind of understand that. I guess, does the Housing Corporation have a bit of a I mean, there's I'm looking at, you know, $100 million being spent this year and $35 million for next fiscal and, you know, maybe they'll even be more money. But do we have some sort of public facing other than this page capital plan of where things are going. I admit that I think many MLAs have been confused at times with the different funding pools and what's being built where, but is there a bit of a fiveyear outlook of what we're going and how much we're spending. Thank you...

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. And I think where I find this especially frustrating is sometimes it's public. The Minister released a news release saying the Frank Channel Bridge cost $50 million, and we got 75 dollars from ICIP, and then, you know, that happens, and now I look at that you know, I heard the Minister say that, you know, we're going through this process and we're going to work with Tlicho, but it's not now clear to me whether that $50 million is a true number and whether we're actually going to be higher. So, you know, I think once it's definitely some sort of public...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So I remember sitting here last year, and there was quite a big fight that the Housing Corp was only spending $10 million on capital. And that's kind of the same number that has appeared in every capital budget. And now I see for the first time revised estimates of the current fiscal we're in, and we're spending $104 million. So it probably would have saved us a lot of time and effort if we knew we were spending $100 million and not $10 million. But can someone just update me on where that money came from. You know, I know this I know we had that $60 million carve off...

Well, I feel like I don't have any more questions other than waiting to see this dashboard. I'm very, very excited about that. I guess well, I'm going to ask some questions about this potential dashboard.

I know that a lot of jurisdictions publish a fiveyear capital plan where it kind of breaks down what's being spent over five years and the year to year amount and kind of what's in the future. We don't presently do that. We don't presently even say how much we're spending in an individual year. Is that the kind of information I could expect in this dashboard? Thank you.

Yeah, and I have raised this with the office of the chief information officer, and I know they're looking into it. And if the lines get blurred, I know as Health goes out and obtains new software, it may or may not be served on our physical servers, or it may be the lines get blurred yet we spend tens of millions of dollars in this area. I guess my next question is considering the money that Infrastructure spends every year on what I consider IT, or what is actually labelled IT, has there been further consideration about whether this should be rolled into Finance? It seems that the overlap...

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...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, okay, I heard, you know, up to 36 months for construction. So I imagine that this even this 20242025 in the capital estimates here is probably ambitious. So it seems there's some issues with the cost. Is there any hope I can get an estimate of what this building is going to cost? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

No, I'll raise this during Infrastructure as well. I know what happened well, what happened now, since we put a bunch of cabins out on Tibbitt, is that everyone parks along the side of the road and then a few years ago Infrastructure started telling people you can't park on the side of the road. So there's no parking. And this goes back to, you know, perhaps inconsistent land uses on the Ingraham Trail. But just anyways, I'll raise this with the Department of Infrastructure that I'm hoping we can get some sort of small area so people can park their vehicles and have a garbage can. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My questions are regarding the wellness and recovery centre which I believe is the shelter that is planned to be built. Well, I guess it was originally planned to be built kind of by the old St. John's Ambulance there on what I believe is I don't know the streets in Yellowknife. So can I just confirm well, whether that is the location or whether I know there was a request from the City of Yellowknife to put it in the current location of the day shelter where the trailers are but whether we have decided on a location? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I see that there's a Yellowknife River day area accessible boardwalk. Can I just get a couple more sentences about what that's about. Thank you.
