Thank you, Mr. Chair. As the Member will know, we're rolling out our energy strategy. We're very open to getting territorial citizens and the industry off lowering our greenhouse gases as much as we can. We're trying to figure out a way to implement renewables into the system and at the same time balancing off costs.

I get the Member's point. I'd like to get some specifics around what he's thinking about, say give me an example of a specific system that someone wants to put into Yellowknife that they want to operate. At the same time, we still have to be very mindful of the costs of doing this...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I haven't even tabled the "what we heard" report for the Manufacturing Strategy yet. When we table that and have a look at it and run that through committee and start moving this thing forward, then we will have a look at what the concerns are, and if there is something that we need to have a serious look at as a government to possibly changing things around the procurement on that side of things, then we'll take those into consideration at the time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That will be regional operations asset management. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The one that we have presently is going to be done here in April, and then we will be doing another short-term contract until substantial completion is done, hopefully in the fall of this year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The deal that we signed yesterday with Minister Sohi, that's where a lot of these funds are going to come from. Now that we've signed our bilateral as of yesterday, the projects that move forward in the next fiscal year, we will be coming back for except for those ones. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have talked about this in the House a number of times. I believe that the procurement policies that we have in place and along with our trade agreements, along with the BIP Incentive Policy Program, that our procurement policies and principles that we have followed in the Government of the Northwest Territories are here to benefit the residents of the Northwest Territories. We will continue to use them in that manner moving forward.

I have said a number of times in this House that I'm not willing to have a look at a review of doing anything on this policy at this time...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Most of those reductions are due to sunsets. If the Member wants, I can read them back to him. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Out of that 1,724, there is $252,000 included in there for environmental monitoring for the next two years. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We believe it was between $50,000 to $100,000. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The $2.894 million is the capital money that we want to use to do the projects that I just mentioned to the previous Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
