Thank you, Mr. Chair. My comments in regards to the carry-overs, living in a seasonally accessed area, I can see the rationale behind always having carry-overs, and I am quite satisfied to understand carry-overs. Carry-overs could be carried over for a number of reasons, seasonal access, for example. Most of our projects are accessible when the ground is frozen. Then, in summertime, most of the ground is suitable for compaction. So those are additional factors here that would substantiate carry-overs, and I am quite satisfied to receive an explanation on the justification of carry-overs, but, outside of that, I think we will always have, this government will always have carry-overs and, I think, has had, in the past, carry-overs, just because of the environment that we live in. Most of our communities are remote. Some of them are only accessible by barge.

In some of the Sahtu cases, we have a combination of three communities that are accessible both by the river and by winter road, so the logistics of mobilizing in preparation for a project is critical at best here. If you miss the boat, you miss the boat. That means you are going to have to carry-over to the next seasonal suitability for the project. Those are my comments on that, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
