Thank you, Mr. Chair. There's a fairly, I think, lengthy area of things that fall under this. So some of this is the GHG grant program, the commercial industrial greenhouse gas grant program are included within. Arctic Energy Alliance gets a significant amount of funding from the department through this allocation. Active carbon active forestry carbon sequestration is under this, which is something administered by the Department of Environment and Climate Change. And energy retrofits on ferries comes under this one as well. Thank you.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I can say, you know, probably, but that's again, as I said, not really the kind of answer I would like to give to the House or to inform the public. Our debt levels certainly are high. When we capped the capital estimates two fiscals ago, that significantly impacted the growth on the debt but then the sheer volume of impacts over this last summer has sort of undercut that otherwise positive story in that our shortterm that was capping the total anticipated or projections of what we would need in terms of debt to fund capital, but then we had these huge...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, so a majority of the facilities that the department's in contact with do go through the request for proposal process, so part of the public procurement process. There's certainly a mix of different types of contracts for different types of services with different agencies across the Department of Health and Social Services, but it does go through a public procurement process in general. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I think I said five earlier so that may have been the source of some confusion. There are these nine. This is what this appropriation is for. This is required for the Department of Justice to fund the positions. This is our 48 percent. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I think and I just want to make I'll double check this, that I have this accurately, but I think no, it's $6 million roughly or just over $6 million is for the travel. We maintained the employment disruption from internal funds and so the total expenses on both will come in at just around $9 million. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The total amount for everyone's pointing at my computer, Mr. Chair. Just $69,766, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, just trying to make sure I'm see if perhaps don't know that any of us have that right at the tip of our fingers, Mr. Chair. I just want to again, I mean, the fact that there's $14 million $14.4 million here is what is required at this point to bring it back. But I yes, I mean that so that I mean maybe I'm not maybe I'm not sorry, maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, Mr. Chair. So obviously compared to what the projected budget was, the projected deficit at this point is $14.4 million. So is the question something other than that 14.4? Sorry, thank...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, we are in an effort to actually answer questions, I'm not clear we were asking what in the wastewater surveillance and what in the second item go public facing? Like, as in what the programs and services are? Thank you.

Mr. Chair, that is not an analysis that I necessarily have in front of me with respect to this supplementary appropriation. I'm happy to take that question away and have our folks in Finance give it some thought. Thank you.
