Thanks. I'm probably straying a little bit far here but what was the original projected operating surplus then for 2022-2023?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, let me see if Ms. Melanson might have that at her fingertips. I don't have it.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The initial -- I do apologize, I just need to bring it up.
The initial operating surplus for 2022-2023 was $130,552,000.

Yeah, thanks. Well, I guess sometimes I wonder why I ask these questions but that's it. Like, so our operating surplus went from $130 million down to $4 million. I just -- so next year we're projecting $178 million, and it's probably going to end up way, way, way, way less than that. But, okay. I just wonder about these things. And I just don't like it quite frankly. Our ability to predict our finances doesn't seem to be very good. I don't know what else I can say, Madam Chair. I'm not very happy about this. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So what's the Deh Cho money actually going to be used for? Thanks, Madam Chair. And will it actually result in the Horn Plateau area being permanently protected? I guess that's my underlying question. Thanks.
