Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, if you go back a few years, last year, I believe we had $126 million in carry-overs; 2016-2017, we had about $137 million in carry-overs; 2015-2016, we had $6 million in carry-overs. As far as the lack of capacity of the department, I believe the department has capacity. I can't speak on behalf of the Minister. If they feel that they are challenged for capacity in delivering some of these programs, then it's a conversation we need to have at the Cabinet table and as an Assembly when we debate the next round of the operations budget. The Member had asked for some specific information. We cannot provide it here. I think the Member had asked if we would be able to provide it to him separately from this process, and we would be glad to do that. I will work with my Cabinet colleagues to see, if committee requests a technical briefing or anything of that type, we will be sure to try to help facilitate that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
