Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For the 2021 flood, the federal auditors were in Yellowknife two weeks ago. There were four auditors here working with us on putting together our claim. So the GNWT has requested an advance, a 50 percent advance, on our 2021 total. It's with the federal process right now so the timing's dependent on them. But we're hopeful it will be -- we're running out of time to receive it this fiscal year. But the advance would be received early in the 2023-2024 fiscal year. For the 2022 flood, we do not anticipate being finalized with recovery until late in 2023-2024 so we can't even start a claim. So the timing for the full reimbursement to be received is uncertain. But we're certainly working with Public Safety Canada on advances for the 2021 costs and the 2022 costs. And as the Minister mentioned, KFN is different. It's under a different federal program. And under that program, the federal program, we can -- it's a rolling reimbursement. So as we spent money, we can seek reimbursement. So we're just preparing right now our first invoice for Public Safety Canada to be reimbursed. So we'll be receiving that throughout the -- we'll be receiving 100 percent reimbursement throughout the term of the 2022 flood for KFN only. Thank you.
