Thanks, Mr. Chair. So I'm looking at the information item on the Inuvialuit water board on page 98, and the Main Estimates amount for the Inuvialuit board shows zero. I don't think that that's the case but I guess I'm seeing what I thought were typos before in Main Estimates. Can the Minister tell us what's going on here? Thanks.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's just the way that the finance template is set up. We approve it after the Main Estimates. After the budget has been approved, they load their budget in. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks. I guess when I look at this, I guess a bunch of dashes were loaded in. Are we actually -- is there any money for the Inuvialuit water board, then, this coming year, or not? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Okay, thanks. I'm kind of curious; I don't know why we can't fix the Main Estimates. But over to the environment fund. It's on page 95.
I know that there's an accumulated surplus over time but the last three years -- or next year and then the previous two years, we're running a deficit there on an annual basis. So I'm just wondering what is the objective that this fund is kind of being managed to? Are we trying to draw it down to get it back down to zero at some point, or what is happening? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, we're not trying to get it down to zero. What we are reflecting here is the work on the new programs that were decided. So used oil tires and expanded electronics, some of you may have noticed that the suite of electronics at recycling depots is much larger than it was before. So this is to reflect that work. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Okay, well, now that we're talking about the depots, Yellowknife only has one depot. It's out on Old Airport Road. It's not at a terribly convenient location. And I think it would be fair to say that I've personally noticed some degradation in the quality of service there, and that's not probably anything to do with the operator, but there seems to be some problems getting staff or, yeah, people in and out during COVID. It's been, I'm sure, a whole set a challenges. I had understood that there was some work being done to look at a second location in Yellowknife. Can the Minister provide an update as to where we're at with that? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
