Thank you, Madam Chair. I in the last few years of sitting here, I have not seen anything come across in the capital plans that would have considered as a ferry option, so I don't know what the full history of that might be. But I can tell you with respect to the other part of the question and public consultation, there actually have been some recent public consultations in the region around specifically the land and the access and the lead points on the bridge. Thank you.

Mr. Martin, please.

Yes, I do, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't have a Fort Providence campground in the capital plan. So there isn't anything anticipated for Fort Providence in the 20242025 plan. I'm not sure if there was maybe a surrounding area campground, if that's what the question was about. But nothing for the community of Fort Providence. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to go to ADM Brennan one more time and it certainly can yes, let's do that for now, please.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So let me first start with respect to the idea of there being about the borrowing limit, because that is a term that generally is associated to the federallyimposed borrowing limit of $1.8 billion. This is different. So we're not seeking any change to the federallyimposed borrowing limit and, in fact, what we did when we changed the Fiscal Responsibility Policy is rather than kind of you would see over the course of many years, and long before this current government, you know, the Assembly would see sort of creep up towards whatever that federallyimposed borrowing...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I mean, there's transfer from lands to ITI I can say, I believe, was within the last five years. Where and when it became a GNWT asset before that point, I don't know.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I am looking at the document the tabled document. I do actually have an amount. So I'm not sure what has gone wrong. I do have $2.5 million for 20242025 showing here for the Highway 3, and specifically contemplating the fact that there would be some sections that would require strengthening in order to service the potential here. So or to service that highway in light of what is going to be happening with the bridge. So, yes. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, you know, I want to say a simple yes. Housing is one that has a lot of attention obviously from the federal government. Housing is an area that has a lot of attention going to Indigenous governments. And there's been significant growth in money going directly to Indigenous governments and community governments, not the GNWT, which is a perfectly good solution and one that we have, in fact, advocated for because it allows communities to be in charge of delivering their own housing solutions. So I would say that there is one one of the challenges here is that this number does not...
