Thank you, Madam Chair, so the Minister is correct. We've assumed those environmental -- or at least our estimate of what they are in terms of future liabilities, and then going forward that's part of the amortization. So there's an amortization as part of this -- of this deficit of $2.109 million. So part of that amortization would include environmental liabilities going forward. Thank you.

. Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, one of the -- I think one of the issues with the -- with that deficit was related to, I think, maintenance because of the aged equipment. Are we seeing -- are we going to see that again, you know, in years to come, or are we pretty well have most of the equipment that we will be using up to spec or repaired? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I certainly don't have a detailed breakdown of what the state of the fleet is at this point, but Madam Chair, one thing I would note, my understanding is that the challenges -- one of the challenges is that the fleet wasn't being maintained until there was a fair bit of backlog, and certainly the GNWT and MTS would not take the same approach. So there has to be some amount that is now going in annually, and that is an expense. And if there's not enough revenues, then we wind up in the situation we're in. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I guess just back to the government -- governance model, I think that's important that -- that we deal with that and have something like I said that's sooner than later because we do have a firm from, you know, outside the Northwest Territories supplying most of the labour and, you know, I would like to see that brought back into the NWT and find a northern proponent to provide those services. That's all. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I see we are -- well, I believe that the $3.4 million and change here for the increased salaries to pay RCMP officers more is a result of collective bargaining, or perhaps it's -- well, first, can I clarify whether this is a result of additional officers or an increase in the collective bargaining? Thank you.
