Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, work continues on this important project, which of course will be instrumental to the region and territory.
Currently work is underway on design and regulatory and permit approvals. Those are continuing and will continue into 2022. We are also working and engaging local folks in the Sahtu and elsewhere on the project where, you know, opportunity potential opportunities lay for local businesses and contracts when this project evolves.
Secondly, we are also looking towards work on procurement and that decision is yet to be determined. There's different paths that can follow there, for 2022-2023, with an expected opening in 2026 as we have on our website. So that remains valid. Thank you, Madam Chair.
