Thank you, Madam Chair. So I know we're just looking for I mean, there's the three different projects here. The lead, of course, was a joint venture between the two landowners of the region, that being IRC and GTC. So they would be the lead in terms of ensuring that their own beneficiaries would be benefitting in a maximum capacity. And I would have no sort of direct say in terms of saying to them who is or is not a beneficiary. Let me double check with ADM Brennan, though, if there's anyone else involved. Again, there may well be some particularly the technical supports, that would not we...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, it doesn't I mean, not necessarily, but maybe. I guess it depends. In this case of the Robertson dock, because they were rehabilitating an existing structure, the Stantec folks were involved to determine whether that structure could be rehabilitated or had to be replaced and what the parameters of that would be. But if it's you know, again, if we're building anew, then that is a new building process. If you're rehabilitating, that's a different process. Yes, not necessarily is probably the best I can give, unfortunately. Thanks.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I will send a consolidation of the list of projects to the Member for Monfwi. I mean, part of the challenge, of course, is, for example, that there's, you know, a Housing NWT project that is taking place in the Monfwi region. There is, you know, runway and apron overlays at one of the airports. That's under infrastructure. There's the North Arm Park. That is under ITI. So each and every one of these projects is listed in the capital estimates with its budget and the location but because they're in the different departments, we organize by department, so you're seeing...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I gather there unfortunately is not a clear as day answer and the reason is that it depends on the operational funding associated to the housing unit. Again, I don't strictly have that in my preparations from the perspective of providing a capital plan. I understand the frustration, and I understand the question does sound like it should have a simple answer. So what I'd suggest I can certainly turn it back there's five minutes to Mr. Martin to try to explain that now but I can also commit to providing in writing an answer as to how the determinations...

Madam Chair, right now, the project scope does not have an assisted living. It has contemplates the higher level of medical requirements that would be needed for individuals, so as well as other facilities, kitchen, laundry, and, you know, communication systems. Some of these are included right now in what is being scoped out. But as I said, at the present time it's being scoped for being an assisted living facility at a higher end need. So, you know, again, I would say the first step is to just get the site, do the technical evaluations and do this engagement. So to the extent that there...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So, Madam Chair, the complicating factor here is there are no GNWT lands that can be turned into a territorial park, nor unless there was to be some sort of lands swap. But, I mean, right now this is not GNWT land. They are IFR or Inuvialuit lands and/or Tuk community corp lands. So my in speaking with the department over the last couple of years and wondering why there isn't more development, quite frankly, in Tuktoyaktuk and/or along the highway, part of it is, again, that's not our land to develop and it's not our land to do anything with. We can support the...

Let's go to ADM Brennan, please.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So I mean, there are two parts to it I suppose. Firstly, if there's an interest in having DFO involved, I mean, the Department of ITI can be a liaison point where whether under tourism, whether under fisheries, potentially Department of Municipal and Community Affairs I imagine could certainly go and advocate to our counterparts to say, look, we would like your officials and staff to come and come to our region and look at what prospects there might be, do their own internal assessments and government processes that exist within the federal government. We would not be...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So, again, at this point only the crush contract has been completed. That one is being done by a local community contractor. Anything on the Frank Channel bridge would have to go through the Tlicho Infrastructure Cooperation Agreement, which there's a presumption in a way that or an initial attempt to negotiate directly with the Tlicho government or subsidiary thereof. If there's an inability to reach conclusion, then even so, any outside agreement that may be reached would still then be subject to having provisions within it for employment and I believe also for...

Thank you, Madam Chair. That is a bit out of the capital that I've prepared for. I'll turn it to Mr. Martin, please.
