Okay, thanks. So maybe I'll just ask a simple question. Is the work done? Thank you.
Thank you. Minister.
The full work is not done, Madam Chair. There is - it's expected to have - to see further work this summer, 20242025, and 20252026. Thank you.
Thank you. Member for Frame Lake.
Okay, thanks. So where is the authorization to carry forward this money? Is it in this supplementary appropriation, or where is it? Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you. Minister.
Madam Chair, you'd only see carry over if the amounts that were previously approved were not fully spent. So, again, if there's no need for a carryover, you wouldn't necessarily see it here, but it certainly hasn't disappeared from the infrastructure acquisition plan, and then it would reappear on the capital estimates coming through for 20242025 later this year. Thank you.
Thank you. Member for Frame Lake.
Okay. Clearly, I'm not an accountant. This funding was authorized in 20212022. The project is not done. And here you've got a public call for people to express their views on this and closing this year. Why is the authorization to carry over the money from 20212022 to future years? Thank you.
Thank you. Minister.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm not an accountant either. Let me take one run at it and if - but if not, I can certainly ask one of the folks with me to do so. But the money only needs to come in as a carryover if that amount is required in the upcoming year. So if the amount for 20222023 wasn't spent and was required in 20232024, it would be a carryover. For a multiyear project, if there's going to be future asks coming in for 2024-2025 in our capital plan, then you'll see it in the capital plan. But in a multiyear project, it may well be that they don't need to carry over an amount from 20232024 into this one. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you. Member for Frame Lake.
Thanks. So was this carryover, then, authorized in the 20232024 Capital Estimates? Thank you.
Thank you. Minister.
Madam Chair, let me turn that one to Mr. Courtoreille, please.
Thank you. Mr. Courtoreille.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I recall that there is an amount budgeted in 20232024. That was approved through the capital estimates last fall. There's no carryover being proposed from 20222023 into 20232024. And, again, this is a multiyear project expected to be completed in 2025. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you. Your time has expired. I think we I think this is a conversation that Member can have with the Minister and her staff to try and figure out that.
