Thank you, Madam Chair. If the issue is around an evacuation route, that probably does not fall within ITI. Certainly during the evacuation, infrastructure did take the lead in terms of providing some additional porta potties along the route and ensuring that there was some additional cleaning, as did ITI, to ensure that for the parks that are there in the parks along the way, that the outhouses that are there that they were receiving additional cleaning. I am I have received both side of this council in that I certainly did receive some complaints, but I also had other people that I was...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So part of what a significant portion of the work that was done was an analysis of the potential mining needs for really, for the entire region. I think people sometimes presume it's just for Slave Geologic only, but it does go far beyond that. I know that NTPC have already entered into MOU agreements with Pine Point and I believe with Norra Zinc, although I could stand to be corrected about that. But are also in discussions with some of the other mines in and around in the South Slave but also then through the North Slave and, again, not only with respect to Slave...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I did want to know I'm glad I have the chance, there was a working group, it actually does have a new name now, it's the Northwest Territories Housing Forum. And I'm not sure whether or not terms of reference can be shared. Obviously, we'd be only one seat at that table but let me make that inquiry. And perhaps that, again, also can demonstrate the level of commitment between all the parties at that forum and what they're attempting to do at that forum. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, Madam Chair, this isn't being turned into a territorial park. But there is a recognition that right now the dock that is there is quite unsafe, is being used, and so as a matter of a primarily a safety concern and safety issue, that's the thrust behind this. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So we've seen some delays to the 20232024 plan. Obviously what we're looking to see approved now is the 20242025 plan, so looking forward. There have been certainly delays in the current fiscal year's plan, and I can certainly provide a bit of a list to the Member if that's easier. I mean, yes, there's delays, but hopefully yes. Yes, I can provide a list if that's helpful. Thank you.

Well, Madam Chair, I am quite happy to talk about vendor performance management. So one of the many things that has proceeded under and in response to the procurement review was a move for vendor performance management. I certainly don't want to suggest that the Government of the Northwest Territories doesn't play a role in managing its own contracts; however, up and to the time of the procurement review, there wasn't anything in the contracts to say that they would be monitored and then there was no mechanism by which to enforce, say, BIP policies that businesses were using to bid on...

Thank you, Madam Chair. No. Madam Chair, this piece of infrastructure that is owned by the Government of the Northwest Territories is dilapidated. It is dangerous. People are going there and using it despite signage that we put up last year. And this has a risk to life. So that's one of the first risk categories when we do an analysis for the capital plan and when we're building the capital plan is to determine if there is a risk to human activity. This one fell in that category. And that's where it then advances through the peer review and ADM review process of a capital planning, and then...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the Member might recall that a preliminary business case was shared with the standing committee and did have in it some initial cost estimates for both generation and transmission. More recent to that, as of May, a final business case was prepared. It does, however, first go to the MOU signatories who we are contemplating as being the partners on the project. I understand that Members may wish to have access to that. I don't have the ability right here to speak to that. So I'm not able to speak to the numbers that are in that cost estimate. But, again, I...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I did just want to note there are the promise of 100 new units in the life of this Assembly will be realized by the end of the current fiscal year of 20232024. With respect to 20242025 sorry, and I actually was I'm looking at 20232024. Let me take that to Mr. Martin to detail. Thanks.

Yes, please, Madam Chair.
