Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. I understand we got about $40 to spend on this perhaps from the federal government. I can't remember the portion of that money that was ours. I guess I -- I'm still slightly confused as to the timing of all this and the steps and, you know, I note it's quite easy to just spend a few million dollars on geotechnical for a road that, you know, we need another $750 million to eventually build, at least. And I know we have some lessons to learn from the Mackenzie Valley Highway of being in environmental assessment for a decade or so.

I'm just hoping the Minister could speak to a little when we would expect to actually be putting in permits and I'll start with that. Thank you.
