Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the increase was due to the amortization of the fibre line. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

That depends on the content. I mean, the way we do business in the Northwest Territories, of course, we listen to and we follow all comments out there, but at the end of the day we will evaluate their contents and see if it's one that would apply or work for the benefit of the people of the Northwest Territories whom we 19 Members were all elected to represent.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I will make the case for an increase, and, as far as whether we will get it or not, that is not our decision to make. It is a federal decision, but we will make the best case possible. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, when the Auditor General audits us, it will be reflected in the public accounts. Thank you.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. We will come before standing committee within the next two or three months. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to recognize two Pages from Yellowknife South, Alden Tumoth and Ryder Ouellette-Landry, and also all the other Pages for their good work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I have had an initial discussion with the Minister of Finance, saying that we need to get into a discussion to talk about an increase to our borrowing limit, so our challenge now is that we put the information together, we go down, we make a good argument as to why we need it, and then the decision is, hopefully, made from there. So the initial discussion I had with him was just to give him a heads-up that we are looking to come forward with a case as to why we think our borrowing limit needs to be increased. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Member is correct. It will be evaluated on a casebycase basis. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, as of Valentine's Day 2018, the balance in the Heritage Fund was $17,110,798.32. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following document entitled "Inuvialuit Water Board Budget 2018-2019." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
