Thank you, Madam Chair. I will leave it at that. So if dictated by the Act, good enough for me.

My next question is could the Minister or department speak about the fluctuation or change there in the amount around the technology service centre? I note that it's about a I can't do math today $600,000 change order change. So, on page 271, so if the Minister or department could just tell us what that's about? Thank you.

(audio) dollar per diems on their projects. So it is this.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So then is it fair to say that when we come to the if I'm here that we've come to the next year's mains estimates, we would see another number show up in the actuals for 20222023? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just wanted to ask I appreciate the questions my colleague was asking around sort of getting a better handle on reporting and where our assets are at. I remember at one point trying to ask for a lessons learned presentation at NAPEG on the Deh Cho Bridge and everybody being like oh my god, we can't talk about that. So I do hope there is a move towards, you know, more transparency because there isn't a way to learn if we don't actually look at what and that was sorry, that was way back in my earlier life, not this Assembly.

So my question here is that I have some...

Luckily, with a minute left. That's appreciated. All right, Aurora Research Institute's Energy Project, it's only at 70. You know, again, I want to sorry, I'm just looking to make sure I know where I'm talking about here.

So the wind potential. Has there been any sort of new areas of interest where we are looking at potentially bringing in wind? I always hear very anecdotally that the wind is picking up here in Yellowknife and such. I mean, whether that's true or not, I'm not sure but it sure feels very cold so and fast and hard. So I'm wondering if there's a potential for that in other areas...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, I too stand in support of this motion, and it is why I wanted to be the seconder on it. To me this is a true act of reconciliation with Indigenous people. It's come to my attention, and I want to thank my colleague for actually being really informative in helping us as a committee to understand really what the situation is like in the smaller communities. I agree with my colleague about the state of the condition of a lot of these buildings that we are, you know, putting off onto low income people in the communities. They aren't worth the money that...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So within that P3 agreement, though, is there the opportunity should there be a required upgrade to the road given the advancement of any of the mining activity in the area? Is there flexibility within the agreement to allow for road upgrades and sort of how does that work given that there is a third party entity here. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I understand what you're saying but nothing was responded to about the fact that this is a directed by government people. So when I hear that it's arm's length, I have to kind of laugh at how arm's length is it when you're just putting money over in a pot that's then directed and controlled by people that also work for the government. When I hear that it's because these people from the Minister, that it's because these people can offer advice, well, I can right now think of someone in your riding, Madam Chair, that would be an amazing technical advisor to a group...

Two things there, just because the Minister opened the door. If you send the barge in earlier in the season, you aren't going to run into problems trying to send it in in October. So I won't get into that with you today. However, is so given what the ADM said, is this three or under $3 million increase here, is that actually anticipated inflationary pressures, forced growth per se, or is it going to be something where we would have to come back? Is this sort of a real actual one or does it have that contingency built in already? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I actually had a lot of really excited people talking about the ebicycle rebate and the Minister's announcement that they were expanding that to other regions outside of just Yellowknife. So my question there is will the $10,000 be enough now? Are we actually going to add more money in given that we've expanded the area of eligible people. Thank you.
