Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thanks to the Minister. I look forward to that information, and I'll go from there. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Capital-related facilities, such as what's on this page here, sport, recreation and youth, are part of the recreational facility in Fort Good Hope at the arena. And can the Minister explain if there's any discussions going on with the finished portion of the facility to bring it back into operation? I know there's some integral question to the structure and so on, but I also understand some work has been done and some planning has been done. So I just want a status update and if this is going to be a portion of the capital for that project, as part of this capital. Thank...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the week prior, I participated in the Mackenzie Valley Highway promotional reception in Ottawa which was sponsored by the Department of Infrastructure and the Sahtu Secretariat Incorporated. The event was well attended by our Premier, Cabinet, Members of the Council of Leaders, Western Arctic MP Minister Alty, federal Ministers, and designated staff and other distinguished guests. The event was well attended and distinguished by its unique focus on infrastructure needs. The federal government's directive on critical minerals and the advancement of nation...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm confident that proper planning was taking place here when we look at the wellness centre allowance there, capital allowance for Deline, Fort Good Hope, and the health and social services centre in Tulita, construction of level B. It tells me these seasonal access communities, in particular the under construction building in Tulita, has allowed for some capital to purchase and spend some costs and the transportation of those purchases over the winter road. So I just point that out to the Minister, and I have every confidence that this capital will be best utilized...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Will the Minister provide me an update on the capital available to that facility. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too would like to recognize translator Lillian Elias. It was always cheerful to see her smiley face in the last couple Assemblies. She will be greatly missed. Mahsi.

That's it, thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And thanks to the Minister for that information to hear. The reason I ask is that it all fits in with the corporate plan for the remaining term of this Assembly, and I'm quite pleased with the department's actions on previous efforts in trying to identify what the scope is, put a budget to it, and then you draft a schedule, which are really three fundamental points to achieving your construction plan. And aside from that, I see the allocation for this coming fiscal year or the upcoming is 112 new build units, plus -- I never tallied it up there -- the retrofits. So it...

Thank you, Madam Chair. My question is to the overall not previously authorized total for 5.465. If we were to do a wholistic review on each year's fire costs, we would look at the initial, as we discussed earlier on the $39 million, and apply this to that, that'll give us our total fire costs for the summer of 2025, for example. Can I get clarification on total impact and costs for the fire season? Mahsi.
