Thank you, Madam Chair. And I'm also concerned that -- in regards to how we managed this project. And you know, if we get a price of $81.3 million and now we're looking at $194 million, and now we're asking for a total additional cost of $33,750,000 extra, it's concerning to me as the MLA for the Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh riding. I mean, I just got back from a funeral service in Lutselk'e and, you know, I'd been advocating for better internet services for my community and, you know, we were told that it's going to be a big improvement in December. I'm still having troubles. I don't see any improvements in that community.

Having said that, though, I mean, you know -- and I agree with my colleagues that there's got to be a better way of doing this. In the business world, you know, you'd be -- you know, these guys should be holding all the risk of $81.3 million. And now we're spending, you know, almost $227 million just to get through this. And, you know, I asked for ice roads for my community, $2 million, housing, infrastructure dollars, homeownership repairs, etcetera, and I don't see it. But yet guys like NorthwesTel are, you know -- it seems like they're the only monopoly and game in town that are providing this type of services, and this government continues to work with them and acknowledge that, you know, they're the only players in town. Well, you know, when I come back from Lutselk'e, because the people there are so tired of waiting for better services, they're starting to purchase starlink satellites there. And they're improving their systems in the community because they -- NorthwesTel is nonexistent. So I'm just going to make a comment on this because, I mean, at this point, you know, I mean, I have a lot of, you know, wants for my community. I mentioned it to the Minister. I mentioned it to the Premier. I mentioned to the housing minister. Again, you know, it's really tough for me to sit back and find out that, you know, we're spending all kinds of money here and we don't -- I don't see the benefits in my riding. So I'm -- I can't support this increase. Thank you. It's just a comment, Madam Chair. Thank you.
