Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a couple of things that I have. I always find it interesting when I see the word "contingency" when it comes to government spending. It seems like, in our borrowing here, we've identified in certain line items "contingency." I appreciate the asterisk here that says, "Contingency amounts are based on the estimated working capital requirements during the year, which can vary significantly." What I'm trying to understand is, how does borrowing even have a contingency to begin with? This could be totally an ignorant question, but I'm trying to understand this. I'm a project manager by background, and I've always recognized, in my previous years in working with the government, that government, or I should say taxpayers at large, don't really approve of contingencies. So I'm trying to understand, what does "contingency" as it relates to Government of the Northwest Territories borrowing? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
