Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, there had been a matter involving the other parties, what we call Project Co, the entity that was involved in building and running the Mackenzie Valley Fibre Line. They, under the project agreement, have the ability to seek compensation for what's called a supervening event. So that's an event that they may have claimed would have increased the associated costs of the project. What they were seeking was such that the GNWT entered into some discussions to try to determine if that could be settled rather than having to go all the way through a more formalized process. And in the course of doing that bought in a mediator and it was after the mediated process that a proposed settlement amount was reached, and that is the amount that is reflected here. Thank you, Madam Chair.
