Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I think I spoke earlier about the partnership that the Department of Infrastructure and Housing has done. We are doing that.

In terms of MTS, I'm not sure what exactly the Member is asking in terms of how we work with MTS in terms of -- because MTS does not fit within what the grant and program is. Thank you.

I'll just retract that one. Maybe it's steamships maybe on that one, but.

The community government retrofits, was that the one that I was at ... or the energy efficiency incentive program, it provides financial assistance to reduce electrical, heat energy, and water. It's only a hundred thousand. Is that available for community NGOs and local businesses? Mahsi.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to -- my understanding is that it's not but I just want clarification. So I'm going to ask Mr. Jenkins to be able to speak if that's where the department is going with that funding, given it's only a hundred thousand dollars. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So my understanding is this program, this is money that flows out under an application basis. So supports that could -- to go out through AEA. So a lot of these things, these types of energy efficiency, there's a number of rebate programs across the territories. So thank you, Madam Chair.

Community government retrofits, $200,000, to perform energy audits and retrofits to community government buildings. I'm just wondering if these are just government buildings, or are they available for NGOs and local businesses? Mahsi.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So the community government retrofits is a contribution to Arctic Energy Alliance, and that's helps to administer a program for energy audits and retrofits to government community buildings. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Further to that line of questioning, I see here there's nothing budgeted for 2022-2023. Are there no ongoing costs for the Tulita Solar Project? Thank you.
