Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that there was a productive meeting held this morning with national -- DND as well as the Indigenous government. So the understanding is the next steps are a technical conversation.

You know, the GNWT is committed working with the joint venture contractors negotiating and evaluating options that will allow for this important project to meet its five-year schedule to be done within the available budget.

I know from my experience, Mr. Speaker, the successful negotiations take two willing parties to have -- to work in mutual respect and trust. Thank you.
