Thank you, Mr. Chair. This same question did come up in the House and I have talked about it and how we do business with the GNWT workshops. We have delivered them in a number of communities right across the Northwest Territories. We will continue to build on that in this fiscal year. This is something that we feel is important that people in the Northwest Territories know how to do business within the government system, how to fill out the BIP Incentive paperwork and stuff, and we have also had questions around contracts concerning purchases under $25,000 to the Minister of Finance.

Realigned DTS transportation budget to DTS, $665,000. Move salary budgeted for senior technical officer, geo-environment, to DTS, $148,000. Move salary budgeted for senior electrical engineer to DTS, $136,000. Move salary budgeted to technical officer to DTS, $142,000. Move salary budgeted to reduce airport positions to DTS, $406,000. Also to that, we have permafrost research and development sunset, federal funding. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are on a short-term contract for the maintenance right now until final completion of the road, and that is when we will be looking at doing a long-term contract. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As the fiscal year end is coming up here right away, we want to be able to resolve this before March 31st. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Those are early days to be even talking about that. The reason we put this whole thing into place was because the YZF could not meet their capital needs going forward.

We are operating within this box, and we are doing it prudently, and I think it will be at least probably some time before we can even consider something like that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, it is.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's an incremental amount of $1,724,000. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, this question came up in the House here just lately. We are still hopeful or confident that we are going to be able to resolve this year. As I said in the House, we are having a look at our other programs within A and E, but we are also reaching out to other departments for other sources of funding that we can use to help alleviate the people that haven't been able to get the rebate.

I have also said in the House here that we have our application in with the federal government on the Low Carbon Economy Fund, and we are hopeful to hear from them by early April on the...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That, no, this includes everything. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

That will be under regional operations, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
