Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, we do have allocated resources that facilitate our own work. And engaging with the ongoing negotiations, we do have individuals who participate in these ongoing discussions. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Is there any prospect that that land use plan is going to be completed in the lifetime of this Assembly? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you. In our conversations with Deh Cho and that there, we have -- hopefully, we'll have it done. Like, we are working on it. It is in their hands right now. We've had some conversations on that. So right now, we are hoping it will be done. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I think I'm going to have to come back and ask the Minister about six months from now where that's at. But let's go on to land use planning in the Wek'eezhii Management Area. This is something that our government started to pay for before getting the feds to the table, much to my consternation, but I understand the need for land use planning. That's my background, my education. Has there been any progress on getting the feds to antiup what should really be a land rights agreement implementation issue? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you. With the Wek'eezhii land use plan, the ongoing negotiations, ongoing discussions, we're continuing to work with the Government of Canada and with the Tlicho to try to facilitate this agreement, I think, in the future. So I'm not sure what else to add at this point. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Is there money specifically in this budget for land use planning in the Wek'eezhii Management Area, and how much? Thanks.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The 2022-2023 budget includes $690,000 for Wek'eezhii land use planning. Thank you.

Okay, thanks. I think we've lapsed some of that in the past. But I want to move on to -- is there any money in the budget for reviewing the project assessment policy? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. There is money. It's part of the ongoing work of the department. So under the securities and project assessment program, our budget is just over $1.8 million. And so part of that budget will be used to complete this work. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So can I just get an update as to where that work stands at and when the public is going to have an opportunity to weigh in as well? There was quite a damning review done of GNWT involvement in the Tlicho All-Season Road environmental assessment that, I think at the end of the day proved this project assessment policy has failed. So what's the current status of this work and when will the public have a chance to weigh in on that policy? Thanks, Madam Chair.
