Thank you, Madam Chair. So what I have with me is the 20222023 delays. And with respect simply to Hay River and to parks in particular, I don't see that there's been any expressed delays there. There was a bit of a delay in getting the fish processing plant online, but it wasn't damaged.
As far as any damage to facilities and damage to park facilities specifically, that would likely be coming in either in a supplementary appropriation under the infrastructure budget or into the future infrastructure budget because that damage assessment hasn't been done yet. Obviously hoping that it would fall...
Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, please.
Mr. Speaker, I'd like to recognize Fernanda Martins. I'm not sure she's actually a constituent, this might be in the wrong spot, but she is a resident of Yellowknife, Mr. Speaker. She's here as the senior advocacy advisor from the Northwest Territories Cancer Society. She's here today because there is a motion, of course, on the floor today around taxation of vaping motions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I am certain that the South Slave Region would be happy to send somebody, and I know ITI's listening now. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. No, I'm not doing over/unders. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, with respect to our assessment schedule, so there is an assessment schedule that is prepared year over year. I don't have the assessment schedule with us because that's not I mean, again, I and I appreciate the connection to the capital estimates planning process, but I don't have the schedule that is for assessments for future years. I can certainly get my hands on it and provide it. And that may also then with that, we could probably speak to the rating and the risk assessment that goes in. So there is an assessment that is done it's put through a risk...
Thank you, Madam Chair. It's Kristal Melanson back again, the director of the Management Board Secretariat.
Madam Chair, I'm not going to create a new project sitting here in the chair. But what I can do is I know we do have a new regional superintendent, I believe I hope in place already for the Beaufort Delta, or soon to be in place in the Beaufort Delta. And that seems like exactly the kind of thing that that individual should be going into Tuktoyaktuk and really, you know, making it their flagship project to sort this out. It's the first there are community infrastructure funds for tourism that the community may want to be applying for, and they could be getting the support of the regional...
Thank you, Madam Chair. So I know we're just looking for I mean, there's the three different projects here. The lead, of course, was a joint venture between the two landowners of the region, that being IRC and GTC. So they would be the lead in terms of ensuring that their own beneficiaries would be benefitting in a maximum capacity. And I would have no sort of direct say in terms of saying to them who is or is not a beneficiary. Let me double check with ADM Brennan, though, if there's anyone else involved. Again, there may well be some particularly the technical supports, that would not we...
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, it doesn't I mean, not necessarily, but maybe. I guess it depends. In this case of the Robertson dock, because they were rehabilitating an existing structure, the Stantec folks were involved to determine whether that structure could be rehabilitated or had to be replaced and what the parameters of that would be. But if it's you know, again, if we're building anew, then that is a new building process. If you're rehabilitating, that's a different process. Yes, not necessarily is probably the best I can give, unfortunately. Thanks.
