Thank you. I just had a quick question. I know it's not so much this, but are we expecting to see more retrofits forecasted in terms of more of these retrofits in my riding? Marsi cho.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. Yay, I have two items here! It looks like there is going to be some retrofit work in Deninu Kue here. I did have a few questions about that, but I could start with my first question: when is this work expected to be started? Marsi cho.

Thank you. I don't want to speculate, but I bet if you did look at this, you won't find a whole lot of benefit. It just goes to my point. I've kind of been seeing this over and over, almost like a mantra. It's disappointing to see the lack of help we've been getting. I need to go back to my constituents and tell them why there's a lack of love, for a better word, in terms of contracts, the construction for this year. I want to hear some assurances.

I'll have some questions for the Premier later on, but we need to keep these projects going and spread out so there's more equity because right now...

There's a little bit of a bright light at the end of the tunnel for me in terms of this whole capital plan booklet. I'm glad to see there's some work being done, but as I said, I think there could have been a lot more. I'm just going to turn my attention to some of the various items here on page 49. I just wanted to see if there's any ballpark estimate of what else is being spent in the Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh riding in terms of the work being done? Marsi cho.

Marsi, Madam Chair. Just going through this long list here, I counted 37 items for the project listing, and again, I only see one. It's frustrating, very frustrating. I did have some questions on the one project here that's clearly listed here, Lutselk'e, the Lutselk'e Power Plant. I just want to ask the Minister when, this project, can we expect to see up and running and to completion and just give an idea, an update, to the House on when it's going to be started and finished. Marsi cho.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the NWT Housing Corporation at this time. Marsi cho, Madam Chair.

Thank you. That is encouraging to hear. I did have one other question, too. When I do my constituency visits, it really pains me to see, like I said, when you have existing buildings and infrastructure there that are not being used as best as they can. You still see a lot of abandoned buildings, and you know they used to be NWTHC assets or probably still are. I can count at least four or five occasions when I was walking around in Lutselk'e and Deninu Kue that I've seen that. What are the plans for buildings that are deemed abandoned? What is the threshold where they are deemed abandoned or...

Thank you. I am disappointed to see the other communities in my riding not in this, like Ndilo, Detah, Lutselk'e. I know, a lot of us in the small communities, we get a lot of housing complaints, a lot of them, and it doesn't ever stop. You are always advocating for these types of things, and that's why we're here. Again, it's a bit frustrating, and we do get a lot of these programs turned down. A lot of my constituents get turned down for things like the CARE and SAFE programs. It gets a little bit disheartening, but like I said, I don't take no for an answer the first time. I keep plugging...

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. I move that the committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Infrastructure at this time. Marsi cho, Madam Chair.

Marsi, Madam Chair. Yes, I will absolutely clarify. In the various items up here, I'm seeing hydro infrastructure. There's Raven fuel management, renewable solutions for off-grid diesel, Taltson expansion. Those four items, if you can give me a ballpark of what benefits this will be coming towards my riding? Marsi cho.
