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.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for that response here. And will the Minister provide a draft journey management schedule so that leadership on the other end would know that this government is taking preparation measures for winter road shipment? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my questions are for the Minister of ECE in regards to the Colville Lake School mobilization. Can the Minister provide an update since our last correspondence that we've had during the summer months there? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Member from YK Centre for bringing this motion forward. I second this motion on the principles of fairness and respect. I do have elders staying in that centre and also have visited that centre and seen the expansion, and it's a beautiful facility, and it really stands up to shine this government that we are behind our seniors' community, and it doesn't matter where they come from. So on fairness, I support this motion as a seconder. And as mentioned, I couldn't have said it any better than the mover. I think all of us in this House here in some way or...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thanks to the Minister for the update. Critical to the mobilization for these three pieces of modulars are -- my understanding and looking at the information the Minister provided is two of these modulars are extremely wide and extremely long. It would be 24 feet wide to be specific. And knowing the windy blind spots on the winter road, will the Minister commit to working with the counterpart for Minister of Infrastructure on minimizing preparatory measures for the transportation such as additional resources to flood the three river crossings to ensure that safety...
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Economy related, Mr. Speaker. The potential of the Mackenzie Valley Highway presents boundless business opportunities for small businesses in the Northwest Territories, recognizing that Small Business Week starts this coming Sunday, October the 19th to October the 25th. I'd like to take this opportunity to encourage all entrepreneurs and small business owners across the Northwest Territories to participate in this important celebration for entrepreneurialship. Small Business Week is Canada's entrepreneurial celebration, and it offers valuable opportunities for the...
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I believe the contractors are listening, so I think they take that really seriously. My question, if the Minister would send me an email so I can forward it on to the contractors that are waiting. Thank you.
