Mr. Speaker, this question came up yesterday when we were in front of committee. The deputy answered it, but there's a fulsome answer. This was a renewed mandate commitment to this Assembly. The knowledge economy is something new to the Legislative Assembly. There's a brand new FPT table surrounding this with the federal government. The federal government has taken a new approach to this on innovation. They've announced their clusters across the country, what they've committed to doing. We've had engagement with them on how we can try to include ourselves in some of these clusters, but as a...

I don't have the exact dates in front of me, but from my recollection from what I read from my briefing note before on the update on this is, when the ferry service pulled out, the one crossing was put in within 10 days of that date, and the other one was within a month's time. With our new equipment, there was a significant challenge this year, and we have actually done it still in record time because of the warming temperatures.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This was primarily  not all of it, but primarily -- because of the reduction of the executive assistant position to the ADM. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The short answer is no. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is primarily due to a sunset from the federal government for a cost-shared agreement for the Slave Geological Physical Surficial Materials Permafrost Study. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding is that the levies are still coming in, and the rates are staying at the same as they were last year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As of even today, we're meeting with the Tucho fishery, our staff is, but after March 8th, I think is hopefully when we can get in front of committee to explain where we're at. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes. Right now, they have access to their excess gas for operations. We would have to come forward for the legislative change to be able to use the interests. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As things are rolling out, we plan to try to have that in front of committee by early April. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The actuals in that particular year for $42,000 were the actuals, but we continue to forecast $22,000. If these numbers continue to climb, well, maybe we'll look at raising that actual number. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
