Thank you, Madam Chair. I am here to present Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 3, 2022-2023. These supplementary estimates propose a total increase of $24.044 million, comprised of the following items:

$27.75 million to provide funding for the Mackenzie Valley Fibre Link Project;
$205,000 to increase the total project budget for the Land Tenure Optimization System; and,
A decrease of $4.886 million to adjust infrastructure project cash flows to realign the appropriations with the anticipated project schedules.

These estimates also propose the supplementary appropriations that will be offset by federal revenues, including:

$726,000 for fish processing equipment for the Hay River Fish Plant;
$158,000 for cost increases related to the Fort Simpson airfield electrical replacement project; and,
$91,000 for nurse call bells in Fort Simpson, to be included in the communications retrofit project.

That concludes my opening remarks. I would be happy to answer any questions that the Members might have.

See context to find out what was said next.
