Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, we fund -- sorry, we fund Dechinta $500,000 a year. We fund Collège Nordique $200,000 per year. And then they also, as the Member noted, receive federal funding on top of that. We're in, like I say, an evolution of our post-secondary landscape right now where we -- and believe me, Aurora College listens to the House and knows that they are at a time where Members more than ever, on both sides of the House, are expecting results for the investments that they're putting into Aurora College, and they are working hard to use that funding to see the evolution of...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately my calendar does not align very well next month with the Minister of Infrastructure. But we do, as much as we can, work together and make sure that we're briefing one another before we go into communities, and so I can commit to the Member to ensuring that I am having conversations with the Minister of Infrastructure both before and after his visit, and I look forward to hearing all about his tour up the winter road. And I can also commit to the Member that I will be meeting with Imperial Oil next month as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, we're finishing up this work to the end of this fiscal year. First, we are considering the needs of different education bodies and the needs of their education needs in each of their communities, and then from there, we're evaluating whether or not it would be suitable housing for the purpose -- sorry, suitable land for the purpose of housing. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, the efforts under the legislation for a Polytechnic University Act have not been paused. That work is still underway. There is a matter of the accreditation process with the Campus Alberta Quality Assurance -- thank you -- Quality Council that needs to happen in order for the legislation to go through and for us to be ready for that. And Aurora College has hit the first milestone where CAQC has traveled to the Northwest Territories, and they are now working with CAQC on the requirements as part of that process. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, huge thank you to BC on that. They were able to support us when we were looking for something that we could take off the shelf and adapt to our NWT context. So we were able to implement that. And at this point, I have nothing new to report as we continue to implement that across the territory. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Member. I know he was busy at work at these engagement sessions last week. I would say one of the things that's really critically important here is the timelines of these projects might be different as well as the business and trades needs of these projects as well. And so while there might be similarities, I think what we might find is that we might be able to be a lot more specific and a lot more purposeful in keeping these two projects separate. But I am certainly happy to work with the Member to see how we can kind of capitalize on...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, over the course of the last month I've met with three different post-secondary institutions from the NWT, and I am keen to continue those relationships. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, none of the funding required in order to mitigate lead in drinking water is found within this budget. That would come forward in the form of a supplementary appropriation. Thank you.
