Thank you, Madam Chair. I see Hay River in here, so I feel compelled to ask a question.

The incident response standby facility, can you tell me where that is actually located in Hay River? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I thank the Minister for that. Now I know where it is.

I guess those buildings that are on that site they're fairly old, and I'm just wondering at what point would some of those buildings be ready to be retired and new ones -- or replaced with new ones. Like, there's offices there. There's, I think, storage there as well, warehouse. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Sorry, there, okay. Short answer, we have a plan that's for all our facilities with ENR throughout the year and or throughout the years, we have a plan that's set up. So it's part of the system. Thank you, madam.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess what's notably missing from forest management is -- and I know there was some money in the operations budget for P3 planning about a new forestry centre in Fort Smith. Can we just get an update what, if any, plans are going on with that. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So presently, we've had meetings with both Salt River and the Fort Smith Metis. As we move forward, the most recent one we just met last week, I believe it was, with the Finance Minister, with our staff and her staff with them, and we're in a process of moving forward. Thank you.
