Thank you, Madam Chair. I mean, there's transfer from lands to ITI I can say, I believe, was within the last five years. Where and when it became a GNWT asset before that point, I don't know.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I am looking at the document the tabled document. I do actually have an amount. So I'm not sure what has gone wrong. I do have $2.5 million for 20242025 showing here for the Highway 3, and specifically contemplating the fact that there would be some sections that would require strengthening in order to service the potential here.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, they are quite keen on the project. The project has a sense of so many senses of being chicken and egg, whether it's with the mineral resource industry or whether it's with the federal government. It is difficult to make a decision amongst ourselves and the Indigenous governments within the territories and say here's our project and go to the federal government without knowing what the federal government is going to put on the table or just how much at the table they're going to sit. So those are two challenges, I think, with this. Again, I want to...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So on my left, deputy minister of finance Bill MacKay and, on my right, Julie Mujcin is the comptroller general.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't believe it is, Madam Chair. Thank you.

I'll take that to Mr. Brennan, please.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, this is, if you all think back to the time when we talked about a change in accounting treatment, here it is in real life form showing up here. So very exciting to learn about some accounting principles. Thank you, Madam Chair.
