Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I guess a couple of things, and just off the top of my head while we're sitting here listening to colleagues and what they're saying about these projects, I guess where I will start is that, you know, while I absolutely respect that one of the priorities of this Assembly is housing, absolutely certainly, we also have other priorities of this Assembly, one of which is economic development and one of which is access to health care and also mental health. One of the things that comes to mind, for myself, is that during COVID, it became very clear how many...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the total capital funding amount for 2025-2026 is $315,000.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we're certainly live to that and live to the increase in traffic expected, and we're definitely optimistic about identifying more suitable space and we are also, at the same time as working through this information, proactively working on identifying additional spots within town. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'm certainly willing to provide the information to the Member and provide the information of what that might look like and examine the options that we have at our fingertips in order to see what the future holds for this slip. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, in 2024-2025 is the completion of the conceptional design access road engineering. There's also the site survey in addition to community consultation. And then in 2025-2026, we would have the building of the access road, gate installation as well. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the Member is right, that we did work with Department of Fisheries and Oceans, their small craft harbours division, in order to do a feasibility study. Part of that study was an environmental site assessment phase 1 and phase 2. The feasibility study that was conducted by fisheries and oceans found that the location didn't adequately fulfill the needs of the GNWT, and so we are currently working with both Infrastructure and ECC on next steps on that one. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I believe that it is year-round, but I want to -- if you wait two seconds, I've got a staff member typing. But yes -- yes, we have summer -- or staff on site in the summertime and so this would be for the additional months but certainly would have them up all year-round, and they would be in place and able to afford us information year-round. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't have that information but I'm hoping that it's going to pop up on my screen. Unfortunately, I don't know the cost per slip annually for a slip at Prelude Lake. But if I can get that information, I'd be happy to share it with the Member.

Yes, please, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we've budgeted $110,000 for this project.
