Thank you, Madam Chair. I think, with respect to the carry-overs, this is a conversation that has begun and has already been had. I think on that one, Madam Chair, I do want to wait and make sure I have all of the necessary information that is still coming to me, as the Member notes that there is a written question right now that is seeking quite a lot of detail about the state of our carry-overs and where we are at. I do think there is more to come on that, and I think it is still an important conversation to have. I am sorry that I am putting it off, but I do think it's important to actually have the full information in front of us in terms of numbers before we have it.

I was making a number of notes because there were quite a number of comments. The money that we are putting into the capital acquisition plan does not necessarily mean that it's money that does not go to something else. Quite a lot of the time, especially on the larger projects, those projects have to get approved year over year by this Assembly. The money is tied up in the large projects, but it's tied up in large projects that are already underway. It's just that the way our Assembly functions is that we must approve it year over year for those projects to continue. Just keep that in mind, as well, as some of those larger projects go forward and, not even just large projects, even some of the medium-sized projects, as well.

Then, if you have a carry-over, can you just take the money and essentially pick it up and drop it somewhere else? Madam Chair, we can't because, again, we're approving it year over year here, because it's being approved by the Assembly. Once it's approved by the Assembly, it's not for an individual department to pick up and say, "We're not sure we can deliver on X, Y or Z, so we're going to pick it up and put it somewhere else." Once it's approved here, it stays associated to the project where it's approved until it comes back here.

In the last comment with respect to being spent locally, Madam Chair, the question around procurement and procurement in all its forms: procurement when something's gone out to tender, but also negotiated contracts, sole source contracts, manufacturing policy, BIP. All of those things are part of the procurement review that's already under way and getting ready to get really started this fall. I couldn't agree more that we want to make sure we're spending locally, but it's an opportunity to actually point out that on these larger scale programs and projects and needs really is what it is, needs of the Northwest Territories, we are going to have to find the balance between how to maximize benefits for the northern businesses while still delivering on infrastructure where we are so far behind. I think that's a great place to end, and I'll end, as well. Thanks, Madam Chair.
