Thank you, Madam Chair. So Madam Chair, for 20222023, it's not a windfall. It's funding that does come in from the federal governments under anticipated programming to a certain degree. So for 20222023, we have just shy of $200,000 in salary and benefits. But $492,000 does go out for contributions and grants, and a small proportion for occupations and maintenance.

Now as for, you know, the individual breakdown of how that happens organization by organization, Madam Chair, I am conscious that there is an additional outstanding obligation that was agreed to, to look at how we were doing those...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, it is my understanding that this should be the full costing for the use of those airlines for the 45 days. Now, I say that, always, with just a note of caution that what we're seeing right now in terms of inflation and fuel costs, and essentially all costs around us seemingly rising, it's not to say that there couldn't be increased costs to the forest fire season this year. We're certainly very hopeful that it's not. Thank you.

I just might, Madam Chair. Thank you.

So 20212022, I have nothing in front of me indicates a firm policy against planting of trees. And 20212022 ENR, in fact, exceeded their budget by $28,000 and change and are planning to continue to do this, to plant trees and to participate in this program.

This is mostly summer field work, which is why there were some delays in terms of the timing of the funds flowing out. But again, as I've indicated, it's certainly my understanding that they will be able to make use of the dollars by doing so in a way that, you know, accounts for the northern climate and...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, quite often the finances would be restricted for particular purposes but let me just turn this to the deputy minister and see if he can provide more detail on this one. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Indigenous Management Training Program can support up to 40 grants at $10,000 per grant. So it is undersubscribed. And I would note, Mr. Speaker, it is actually under review right now for exactly that reason or that's one of the reasons, to help increase utilization.

I would note, Mr. Speaker, when we started this Assembly the Indigenous Career Gateway Program was also underutilized and is now oversubscribed. So I do believe we can get there with this one too. Thank you.

Madam Chair, I believe that the industry and buildings GHG grant fund or grant program, and that, Madam Chair, would be an applicationbased grant program to support energy efficiency, renewable energy, and fuel substitution in industry and commercial buildings. So, Madam Chair, that is and by applicationbased. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I understand that provides for two aircraft. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, indeed, all managers do go through the management series program. That is mandatory. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. This is, right now, a onetime programming. It is we're part of I missed the name earlier, Tourism Relief Fund, which came out from the federal government and is extended through to the end of next year. I do hope that it's fully subscribed. That is certainly the point.

Whether we'll need anything further, you know, I can't say. Again, hoping we don't continue to need any sorts of relief or recovery.

The next stage of tourism funding would probably be looking over to the Tourism 2025, which is part of ITI's Main Estimates. Thank you, Madam Chair.
