Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess it was kind of misleading, the way I read it, but that's good. Thank you for that response. I don't have anything further at this time. Thank you.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. I'll try to break this down to something more regional, and then I'll probably speak to something broader in terms of globally. I'll start by looking at page 244 just as a whole. I circled a few items that were sunsetted, the Arctic Research Foundation, the Tulita Solar Project. Understandably, that was sunsetted for the Tuktoyaktuk highway study, the Northern Transportation Adaptation Initiative. Then looking at this, it just seems like, in terms of research and development outside of Yellowknife, it just kind of all stopped. My first question to the Minister is: I...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Can the Minister just explain what the split is between those two categories? Thank you.

In that list, I heard "contracts." Could the Minister just expand on what type of contracts are in this other operations section? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm looking at the Infrastructure stuff on page 254. Specifically, I am looking at other operations. Any time I see "other" or "miscellaneous," it always kind of piques my interest. Can the Minister just expand on what that line item speaks to? Thank you.

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

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for the response. It sounds like, then, like that page not found where I tried to click on that is there by design, so maybe, it's probably best to get rid of this, then? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for that response. If I could just get something in writing from the Ministers about the breakdown about the wholesale cost and some of the factors because I know I am going to get that question again in the future, just so I could explain to my constituents what factors into the cost of fuel? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Like I said, accounting is not one of my strong suits, so my understanding is that amortization is to deal with assets being written off over time. You always see a lot, I want to see if the department does try to recover that, too, when items get decommissioned. Is that line item shown anywhere, where decommissioned equipment is being sold, and if there's any profits made from that? Where would that be in this area of the budget? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate that response. If we could get some numbers back, I would like that, for all of the communities who have to have their fuel delivered. I know it's going to be different from community to community based on what I was just told here. If we could get a breakdown by community of what the fuel prices are on average in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.
