Thank you, Madam Chair. Okay, so I do have questions, then.
So we're carrying over about $550,000 of the $1.5 million, meaning the Department of Infrastructure lapsed about a million dollars of deferred maintenance. And I guess my understanding of this happens is because they don't have the contracts in place so they can't say we're absolutely have either a contractual commitment or significant progress under the Financial Administration Manual is why it lapses. But I guess can we get a bit of an explanation of why that happened?
Because I know that the GNWT's deferred maintenance backlog is massive. You know, there's different calculations based on needs but it's fair to say it's in the hundreds of millions of dollars. So how on earth are we not spending a million of it? Thank you.
