Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my understanding from the work done on the federal budget is that $3.5 billion is over a 10-year period. Approximately 60 percent of that has been identified for the Northwest Territories. It will flow through the federal government. It is for the North. Let me correct that. It is for all of the North. So the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut are included in that, it's not only for the Northwest Territories. We have, however, been highlighted in some of the detail, that whatever comes to the Northwest Territories will go towards the Giant Mine contamination area and Port Radium area. That's the detail that we've seen. There has also been mention of DEW Line sites, but again, it's over a 10-year period. It's between all the northern jurisdictions. We're not sure of the detail of how it will flow and when it will start flowing, but that's the detail we do have. Thank you.
