Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the committee wishes to consider Minister's Statement 4-20(1), Minister's Statement 5-20(1), Minister's Statement 17-20(1), Minister's Statement 24-20(1), as well, Mr. Chair, the committee would like to consider Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 1, 2024-2025, and Tabled Document 93-20(1), 2024-2025 Main Estimates, Departments of Industry, Tourism and Investment and the Housing Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I ask that question, of course, because it's my understanding that the federal funding was provided for the Whitehorse to Dawson portion of that line. I'm wondering if that line, then, would be owned by NorthwesTel.

Mr. Speaker, one final question, part of this proposal obviously was having redundancy and fibre into the community of Tuktoyaktuk too along the new Inuvik to Tuk highway. Can the Minister speak to the ongoing work on getting that line in as well? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Infrastructure or Finance, I'm not sure. It's the same person, so she'll figure it out I'm sure.

On the fibre line, Mr. Speaker, I spoke to, can the Minister tell me if there has been any consideration given to the redundancy beyond Fort Nelson and is it too late, I guess, to relook at that agreement between the GNWT, Yukon government, and NorthwesTel. Thank you.

That's fine, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And certainly by no means was I implying that the wonderful staff that we have there aren't doing the work now. I'm in touch with them regularly, and certainly we have a good crew there, and I appreciate what they do. And so I will leave it at that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the committee wishes to consider Committee Report 220(1), Standing Committee on Social Development Report on Bill 2: Missing Persons Act, as well as Bill 2, Missing Persons Act, and Tabled Document 9320(1), 20242025 Main Estimates, the Departments of Infrastructure and Finance. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to congratulate the 2024 High School Graduating Class of the Inuvik East Three Secondary School. Mr. Speaker, this year's ceremony is extra special for me as my son will be among the graduating class.

I would like to thank the incredible staff at East Three Secondary School, and I would like to congratulate the families and mentors who have helped the grade 12 students accomplish this milestone in their lives. Mr. Speaker, there are 27 students graduating this year, and they are:

Andy Albert

Livia Amos

Kira Bretana

Kaycee Campbell

Jared Day

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the Borrowing Plan for the Government Reporting Entity and the Established Borrowing Limits for the Government of the Northwest Territories at this time. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And, yes, I'd appreciate that, to be able to see that to have a look. Thank you. No further questions.

Is there an investment policy that I don't know if it would be if that would come to Cabinet or how is there an investment policy and if there is, who sets that up?
