Thank you, Madam Chair. I am going to see if ADM Jenkins has further information, a really quick answer on what that is. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Look, is it a separate document, and can it be shared with the standing committee? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am looking to support staff here to see if we are able to share it. I am seeing nodding. I am going to ask ADM Jenkins to see if that's possible. I really don't know where we're at in that document. I have so many numbers and stuff in front of me here to be able to find it very quickly. It's not going to be very quick. Let's see if he can do this quicker than me. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We will have to look that up on the website and take a look and see if there is a new document there. I am not aware, so I will have to go and do some looking. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks. I just burned up two minutes with what I thought was a simple question, so I think I will move on. I have been here for over five years now. I have never seen a detailed cost estimate for the Taltson expansion project or the Slave Geological Province road. I heard the Minister or somebody say that there is supposed to be an updated cost estimate for Taltson in the first quarter of the new year. Can the Minister commit to sharing that cost estimate with standing committee? Yes or no? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. It's going to be a no because I don't know specifically what I committed to or what I said. I am not going to sit here and commit to something that I don't know whether it is shareable or not, so the answer is no. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I will be here three months from now asking for it. Is there an updated cost estimate being prepared for the Slave Geological Province road, or the road to Lockhart, or whatever the heck it's called now? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Can the Minister tell me when that study is going to be finished, and can she share it with standing committee? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am wasting some time here but without finding the right information, I am going to look to ADM Jenkins to see if he knows more information while I find that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We have $40 million in funding for the Slave Geological Province corridor. We are going through the environmental, regulatory, and other type of information-gathering, which would support regulatory applications. Obviously, we would have to look, as we go through this process, similar to Taltson, and look at the business case for the project. We don't have a time right now. We are looking at hopefully having a regulatory application in for the Lockhart All-Season Road some time in the next year. Thank you, Madam Chair.
