Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize Vicki Johnston. She is a constituent of mine. She is doing good work with the Tin Can Hill conservation committee, and she is here today to see the exchange with the Minister. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister for that. And it's always good to hear that we are increasing accessibility to our public-facing offices. I'm curious, and I apologize if it's not the right Minister that I should be asking but as it is his project I will ask him. The way that we weigh capital projects and how we choose certain buildings for upgrades, I understand it's a bit of a sliding scale of this is falling apart or this is very, very important. Could the Minister speak as to why this upgrade is occurring over maybe other buildings in the GNWT? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So something that I've been thinking about, and noticing a lot lately, is the conversation around computer servers, and specifically AI search engine servers, that sort of the thing and the like, contributing greatly to greenhouse gas emissions and water usage. So I recognize that these servers might not even exist necessarily in the territory. If they do, fine. If they are small scale, also fine. But I would hazard to guess that because of the way that the climate change considerations work, if these servers aref indeed out of the territory we can say then, no, they don...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Excuse me, I'm having a little bit of a frog in my throat. It says here replacement of capital server network and storage infrastructure. In that substantiation, does the decision -- does the decision-making process that Cabinet commits to for many of its decision-making instruments apply? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Nothing further.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can specifically the scientific reports be made publicly available? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the opportunity to ask a second round of questions to the Minister of ECE. Will the Minister work with the board, the college board, to conduct a robust public consultation process for site selection? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks, Mr. Speaker. I'll reiterate my question perhaps in a different way. If the environmental site assessment and all of the technical work shows that there is contamination and remediation needed on the site, will ECE terminate the MOU? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. As we are in the capital budget process, we're all aware that there is no new money for a new Yellowknife polytech campus. So can the Minister please explain why the issue of locating a campus on Tin Can Hill has been silent after much fanfare in 2023? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister for that clarification; I greatly appreciate it. I don't have any further questions.
