Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, within -- you know, within our Cabinet and with our department, we engage with the Indigenous groups to have a look at some of the things that we can do; however, I do want to assure the Member that we can talk off line to be able to have further discussions with the Indigenous group and how we can all work together. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. And if I could -- so that sounds like a commitment. And if we could, I wouldn't mind asking the Minister if she's willing to come to Lutselk'e maybe sometime in November to have that discussion with the community and council. Mahsi.

Thank you. Minister of Infrastructure.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, between my office and department, we can work with the Member and the community to see what our schedules for the next month or so or perhaps, you know, seeing -- it's kind of difficult to be able to commit to a time when we need to engage with schedules as well. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Yeah, thank you very much, Madam Chair, and I appreciate that. I am looking forward to work with the Minister in trying to figure out some dates and do what we can just to accommodate the community of Lutselk'e to see what we can do to bring in the new winter road probably on an ongoing basis, anything to help out the high cost of living in that community. Having said that, though, and I guess that -- I'm assuming that the discussion will also happen with the community of Fort Resolution and MACA and together I'm assuming. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Minister of Infrastructure.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, absolutely. Again, I mentioned we'll look at our schedule, be able to see what time everybody has and start to have those discussions. Thank you.

Thank you. Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Thank you. Minister of Infrastructure.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, absolutely. I mean, we have these discussions. It could be, you know, a phone call. It could be something -- you know, we can schedule a sit down, and again, we'll look at our schedule. But I'm happy to work with the Member. I think, you know, that's important to get the MLAs, the Indigenous groups, all sit down at a table and to be able to have meaningful discussions. I mean, you look at some of the work the Indigenous groups and the work with the government, perhaps we can go to the feds with one planned approach to be able to look at funding options for some work that's happening in the communities. And it's always good to see the Indigenous groups engage in that process. So I'd be happy to work with the Member. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And as well, the Minister, if she could probably work with our -- the, some of the other -- I guess in this case the Minister of Finance to see if we get her on side as well because we did have a meeting with her a few weeks ago in trying to talk about this winter road. So I'm looking forward to work with all of you. I'm trying to make something happen. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Minister of Infrastructure, do you have --

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I think that's -- you know, Minister of Finance and I work together on many different projects. I mean, this is a whole-of-government approach. It's not individual departments working in silos to be able to get some of these projects going. So Minister Wawzonek and I have several different major projects that we work together on. So thank you.

Thank you. Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

I just want -- one more question, I guess, and I'm done. I just want to see a smile on her face so that I could get my winter road this year. Thank you, Madam. Just a statement. Mahsi.

I'll take it as a statement. And she's smiling. All right. Any further questions, comments under Infrastructure, asset management? Member for Monfwi.

Thank you. With reference to Whati transmission line, the completion date is 2026-2027. Can we get an update and the estimate cost of the project? Thank you.

That's under the next section. On asset management we're on. You'll be first for the next section, okay.

Are there any further questions under asset management from Members? All right, seeing none, Infrastructure, asset management, infrastructure investment, $82,792,000; does committee agree?

Committee please turn to page 56, energy and strategic initiatives with information items on page 57. Member for Monfwi.
