Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, Deline is one of the communities that we need fuel going in. I know we didn't have enough weight restriction on the road so there was a delay. I'm going to see if Mr. Brennan has any further updates as, you know, the community was quite concerned about getting the fuel, and I'm -- in speaking with the leadership as well. But, I mean, we are working to try and get the right amount of fuel to get them through. But if I can see if Gary wants to speak -- or Mr. Brennan wants to speak any further. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Brennan.

Thank you. Member for Hay River South.

Thank you. Yeah, and the rest of the roads, like, for Good Hope and Colville as well, what are they -- what condition are they in and are they getting in their supplies? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, in Colville Lake, we have about -- we're about 93 percent with the fuel for gasoline in the community, and we're about 78 percent to get our diesel into the community as one example. Thank you.

Thank you. Member for -- are there any further questions under regional operations? Seeing none, please turn to page 274.

Infrastructure, regional operations, operations expenditure summary, 2023-2024 Main Estimates, $248,478,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you. Committee, there are additional information items on page 276 to 287. Questions. Member for Frame Lake

Thanks, Madam Chair. Now we're coming to my favourite part of the Infrastructure budget. I've been patiently waiting hours. Marine Transportation Services Revolving Fund, and it's on page 281. Oh, she's going to -- rats.

We stopped the clock. Sergeant-at-arms, can you please switch out the witnesses.

Welcome back, Ms. St. Denis. All right. Member for Frame Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I love revolving funds. So MTS, can someone tell me where in the budget, you know, we -- the barges didn't get into some of the Nunakput communities. Where in the budget do I find that expenditure 2022-2023 to airlift fuel into those communities, and how much was it? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the Member is correct. It was quite, you know, expensive as a result of us not getting the barges in. We did commit to, you know, do the best we can do ensure we get the supplies back to the community members. I believe the number was about $3 million. I just want to just turn it over to Ms. Lee to just perhaps speak a little bit more about where we're at. That was the number I was given a while ago. So if I can, thank you, Madam Chair.

Ms. Lee.

Thank you. Member for Frame Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So that estimate, does it include any compensation to individuals in Sachs Harbour for what happened or any claims that individuals might have had? Thanks.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, no. We did cover the cost to bring the supplies into the community. There is no additional cost. Thank you.

Thank you. Member for Frame Lake.

Okay, thanks. So this incident has happened twice now in the short tenure of MTS. Does the MTS actually have any written policies or guidance about where they deliver stuff first or the priority? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member. Minister.
