Thank you, Madam Chair. So there's two reallocations taken out from the secondment program and the knowledge economy. The knowledge economy is sunsetting. That work's been complete, and that money is no longer needed there. It's at a different stage now. The secondment program, there was a position that was no longer required and so the secondment agreement was cancelled. So there's surplus money sitting in those two, and it's been reallocated to three things. One, the NWT producer incentive pilot program, which is within the film industry for $100,000; the MRA implementation process for 125...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would love to see the federal government spend its money better and spend its money in the Northwest Territories. That would be a good news story for all. I can say that the universal broadband funds including their rapid universal broadband fund, which I think I've got slightly misstitled, were not necessarily well tuned to some of the needs here in the Northwest Territories. An example being redundancy was not eligible for any funding through those funds. And redundancy in the Northwest Territories, of course when we have one line going into communities...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I agree it doesn't need to take until May.

Madam Chair, this is dating back to, I think, approximately 2013 but I'd be happy to try to locate that information and provide it to the Member.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, so that yes, that also is for anticipated shortfall at the NTHSSA. As noted, it was for frontline nurses. It is for agency nurse expenditures.

Notwithstanding efforts for health care recruitment, there do continue to be a reliance and a necessity to bring up nurses to cover urgent positions. And with the nationwide shortage that's ongoing, again, as I said, notwithstanding some of the other efforts, some of which are reflected here in terms of other areas of supplementary appropriations, agency...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, so already there is, just to confirm, the manufacturing policy guidelines newly minted are on ITI's website, current BIP guidelines and renewed guidelines are on the ITI's website. There is now a dashboard with respect to procurement that is live over on Finance's website.

Further, as well, I the principles that I have mentioned, the objectives and principles around procurement, that is not a small thing. That was one...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So, again, just subject to not going too far in the future in terms of procurement dollars, of the dollars that have not been yet put out for procurement, other than that responses will they can be certainly tabled in the House. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I have $194 million as being the total cost now including this. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Looking as a net, $1.553 million.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, as the Member's already pointed out, there was a summary version of what's ongoing already published several months ago with respect to the work that's happening. I believe with that there was also a publication of a set of principles, unifying principles about procurement so that we are no longer spread with different purposes and objectives between different departments, which was a significant recommendation from that report.
