Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. So this is due to the increase in the positions for fleet management, the compensation and benefits that relate to positions. And because of the three positions, that's what this increase entails. Thank you.

So, yeah, Deh Cho operations, we have -- full-time positions in the Deh Cho, we have 45. For her specific riding -- or for Fort Providence, we can get you the information for detail for specifically Fort Providence, if you like, or if you want it broken down for area. But, yeah, 45 is the number of positions in the Deh Cho.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following three documents: The Plain Language Summary for Bill 41, An Act to Amend the Real Estate Agents??? Licensing Act; Statement of Consistency for Bill 41, An Act to Amend the Real Estate Agents??? Licensing Act; and, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Workers' Compensation Appeals Tribunal 2024 Annual Report. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. If she can just re-ask her question there. We're into the section of -- like, further back in the budget there. I am just -- or the -- just trying to get to the pages here to answer her question, so if she can just clarify.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. I have no issues with working with the leaders in the Tlicho region to clarify what might be the issues and why we can't have unrestricted licenses in Behchoko. And like I said earlier, we'll find a path forward and to clarify what the issues are for the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

So the whole scale of project management, I guess, is the responsibility for projects identified in the GNWT capital plan on behalf of client departments, coordinates the deferred maintenance and capital asset, a retrofit fund in coordination with the asset management activity. Thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess just to try to get to the detail of this, if we can get back to the Member with the response so that we can cover off the question that she's asking in order to make sure that we're covering off the detail of her question. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. I know some of the section that the Member's speaking of is part of our regular O and M maintenance on the sections to upgrade it, obviously on the NWT side only. But, yeah, I can't really get into details on that right now unless you get that -- so yeah, just -- it's part of our regular O and M for part of that section of the Dempster Highway. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So part of the restriction, I guess, is the fact that some communities you're not able to perform some of the skills or tasks that are part of the driving exam, so that's why we have the restriction. So maybe what I can do is -- I don't think it's as simple as just saying Behchoko, you can no longer do restricted licenses. So I think what I will take back here is if I can get the department maybe just to come back to the Member and have a detailed maybe one-pager just to say these things cannot be performed in Behchoko and that's why there's restricted licenses, that's...

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. That's part of the planning that's going to be happening, is to make sure that there isn't added costs or pressures to communities and working with community governments and builders and stuff just to make sure that this is not going to add more costs out there. Thank you.
