Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the GNWT hasn't borne the entire costs. So part of the costs here are actually being paid by this project entity, which includes Ledcor. They are the ones that were responsible for financing building and financing the line. So the costs that they've incurred are quite significant. The GNWT actually is not fully responsible for all of those because of the P3 arrangements, they undertook some of the risk, including some of the risk of cost overruns. Now so it's not so simple as to say that all of those cost overruns are entirely the GNWT's responsibility...

Thank you, Madam Chair. The total amount requested of 6.792 includes funding for agency nurse contracts of 5.7 as well as providing accommodation for those nurses and also for their union dues, and it's divided up between the different departments within which they would be employed. But that is the total, 6.7.

Mr. Speaker, simple answer is yes, there will be a response. It's going to be a full response to the review. And I couldn't agree more because of all the things I've been detailing in my responses now that have happened and that are underway. I've more than once brought the full team from multiple departments together. And at the last occasion, that was exactly the topic of conversation, was saying we can't let in some in this case, it's all the good work go unknown and those who are using one part may not know about the things that have happened in another. So it's coming, Mr. Speaker. It...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, we'll provide a public document that shows the timeline to the end anticipated timelines to the end of the Assembly. I don't know where that's at in terms of that's obviously not what I have in front of me right now, Madam Chair. So I don't know if I will be tabling that in the next, you know, sort of 72 hours. But we'll make sure that we get something out publicly. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, Ms. Melanson has the detail. I'll direct it to her, please.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Radiology services are an item that is actually contracted out and provided by Beam Radiology which is based in Calgary. This is done through a competitive procurement process through the NTHSSA and that contract, as I understand it, has been renewed, and there are increases in over and above what was in the previous contract, Madam Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there's things happening in an ongoing way. So some of the work under the manufacturing policy has if I'm not mistaken, has already been prepared and is already ready to go ahead with respect, for example, to the guidelines under the manufacturing policy. Those guidelines have been improved. And I will reconfirm as to their whereabouts on the website. I had understood they were going out and were being promulgated already.

With respect to the business incentive policy, one of the biggest issues is around defining northern business. I know this question's...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, anything that certainly has been spent to date would be form part of, you know, either the public accounts or would certainly, you know, be able to be spoken to publicly here. I think the only challenge I'd run into is with respect to matters that are being procured in the future years. But and actually, Madam Chair, as I sit here, it would appear that I may have that.

To date we have spent $24,000, is the number I'm getting. So, again but let me I'm I think we can provide more information than that about this project generally by the project leads...

Thank you, Madam Chair. It was the Ledcor team cohort that was that is the other party. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, this is a projected shortfall in the chemotherapy program that we have here at Stanton Hospital, and it's based on the actuals that we ran as of October and then extrapolated that to the end of this fiscal year. So based on where the program was at as of October 21st, it was expected that there would be this shortfall. The drug cost, I mean, it's twofold. It's partly the cost of the drugs and also the amount of usage by clients, by patients. Thank you, Madam Chair.
