Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I guess my final question is in regards to federal supports for the COVID Secretariat for the 2022-2023 year. I know that just in hearing what we're talking about today, a lot of the ongoing funds are really to ensure that the North is protected. We have limited housing resources, which have an impact on this, and healthcare in the territory is quite expensive. And so I'm wondering if there are discussions with the federal government to continue supports for this? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Yes, thank you. We hope to have federal support for COVID as an endemic, and there are some supports we know they are providing; for example, rapid antigen tests are coming from their stockpile. Vaccines are still coming from their stockpile. But we have additional costs for service delivery that we've made an ask for. And to put more detail to this, I'd ask you, Madam Chair, to call on the deputy minister. Thank you.

Thank you. Deputy minister.

Thank you. Member for Hay River South.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to talk about I guess the enforcement of orders. And there was fines that went along with them, and I'm just wondering if there's -- where that -- you know, when that money was received, if people pled guilty where it went or how it was dealt with. And also, you know, just the cost to enforce the tickets given out, if we have an average. Thank you.

Thank you, Member. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Yes, thank you. For that detail, I'd appreciate you calling on Mr. Neudorf.

Thank you. Mr. Neudorf.

Thank you. Member for Hay River South.

Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, as we're winding down here, the ones that -- I guess you say a third have been paid and a third in the courts. Is there any indication that maybe the department may just, you know, not -- or just ask that -- or direct that those ones that are in the courts will not be pursued any further and just drop them? Thank you.

I don't feel like we can comment on things that are sitting before the court right now. So I'm going to give that a pass.

Thank you. Member for Hay River South.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I appreciate that, and I understand.

The next item here is the wind down costs. Are we looking at any additional costs with respect to -- you know, we've got camps set up at the border. You know, we've used -- you know, rented out buildings and that. Is there any additional costs -- like, say for instance, as an example, the border in -- at -- on Highway 1, you know, it's on lands that -- I guess that are looked after by ITI. Will there be a cost to clean up that land? Is there any damage? Any environmental damage that has to be looked at? You know, and not just that one but other ones as well. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of Health and Social Services.

Yes, thank you. I'd ask Mr. Neudorf to answer that, please.

Thank you. Mr. Neudorf.

Thank you. Member for Hay River South.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And with respect to I guess early -- like, I'm not sure what the contracts were, if equipment is -- it was just month by month or if it was -- you know, a fixed term. Will there be any extra costs, I guess, if there is a -- you know, release of equipment earlier than anticipated? And also employees, will there be any additional severance required, you know, anything significant I guess with respect to, I guess, demob. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister of Health and Social Services.
