Thank you, Madam Chair. And I think that's good. I mean, we definitely want to be increasing capacity within Indigenous organizations to do the work, and I'm glad to hear that it's not just being subbed out and hopefully will lead to some of the longer term jobs that my colleague was mentioning. I guess I just want to say that I have heard some issues around safety that did not have to do with climate change, and I just want that to be noted that it is out there and perhaps the Minister needs to get a better look at that or be aware of that.
My next, though, is around the highway operations. I do note that there is a 3 million -- no, that's not quite right, 3 million, is it -- probably under $3 million -- increase there. But I'm just curious to know given the way that the supply chain issues and everything is going, but more so here around maybe the lack of staff and employment, are we anticipating any issues with maintaining the highways and operating them and any sort of future costs given that we've seen, you know, some flooding issues around -- I can't remember the name -- Sweet Creek, is that it -- down in south of Hay River and such. So can the Minister speak to whether or not we're going to even see more cost increases there? Thank you.
