Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thanks to the Minister. My last question: will the Minister, sometime during this summer, support a Sahtu energy strategy conference?

That puts a smile on my face. Thanks for the response. My second question: the Mackenzie Valley Highway has been a long-held priority of residents of the Sahtu and is identified in the mandate of the 18th Legislative Assembly, yet the project still has not commenced construction. What is the Department of Infrastructure doing to advance this priority?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we approach the last few days of our spring session and starting our summer season until our next October sitting.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am just looking at the list and being mindful of green initiative allowances, as well as being mindful of the federal infrastructure dollars out there, and the time frame remaining in both governments, and the opportunity to access these infrastructure dollars federally.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am quite satisfied with the tabled document here summarizing the separate items and the numbers, and I look forward to going into the detail of the supplementary. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Simpson. Minister McLeod, did you want to provide a comment?
