Thank you, Madam Chair. Two parts: firstly is that, in the process of seeking main estimates from the various departments, individual departments certainly need to be given perhaps more scrutiny, more pressure, to ensure that those estimates are accurate. It will be somewhat challenged in the next budget cycle. Departments have already been providing those estimates before this administration even took their seats, but we will do our best over the next coming months to know that that is an expectation.

Internally, the Department of Finance, when this issue arose and our own conversations were had, decided that we would be re-profiling an internal position to be focused on cash flow and receivables to ensure that we are doing every step that we can at the Department of Finance to oversee the day-to-day cash-flow activities of the Government of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
