Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm just also looking at these in the same area, the energy efficiency incentive program. It's at a hundred thousand. At one point, we had given $200,000 there. I'm just wondering if that's a COVID spike, or if we're looking to put more money here in coming years. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to see if Mr. Jenkins can speak a little bit more about it.

Yes, thank you Madam Chair. This is one we're allowed to go back and probably provide followup in terms of the $200,000 there on that program.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Does that mean that the department would be looking to come back for more money from us, or would be looking to find that money internally? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I asked an either/or question, not a yes or no. So will you be coming back for more money from us?

Madam Chair, so we'll find that capacity internally. So we'll look within our department. Thanks.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And since the Minister brought it up, I'll ask around the CAP program, the community access program. I see that there is more money here than there was in the 2020-2021 Actuals, which is a great. Do we expect that this program will be fully subscribed. And if it is and there's more asks, will we be finding more money for it? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the CAP program provides about $1.5 million in financial contributions and technical assistance, and I don't need to remind the Member what areas of assistance we provide. So the upcoming year, a total of 18 projects in 15 communities across the territory have been approved for about $1.45 million. The project proposals are accepted twice a year. Again, it's proposed so we encourage communities to be able to submit proposals. And the sooner the better. I mean, we try and ensure that a lot of these programs are done equally across the territories. It is application on annual. And, you know, some of the things that we look at, and just I think this is good information for the communities, are things like the merit of the project proposal, the level of community support that's included in the proposal, and whether sufficient funds are remaining in the budget. Right now, I do want to say that this program is fully subscribed. Thank you, Madam Chair.
