Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I will apologize to the people sitting behind me as I have my back to them. And thank you to my colleagues for all of their questions.
My questions are more in line of maintaining benefit to the people of the Northwest Territories. That being said, there is huge benefit to infrastructure development to the people of the Northwest Territories. And from, you know, a social perspective, people with meaningful employment, it creates so much more opportunity than just, you know -- it's more than just energy is what I'm saying.
Within the Department of Infrastructure, they are responsible for about 76 percent of the total infrastructure budget and have control over making sure that quite a significant amount of that stays in the North, and so I'm wondering if the Minister can speak to the amount of money from this pot here, considering this is the most significant amount of money from the Department of Infrastructure capital estimates, and I'm wondering if they can speak to the percent of money that is staying Northern. Thank you.
