Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I am happy to present the Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 2, 2023-2024.

The infrastructure supplementary estimates propose a total increase of $124.5 million comprised of the following items:

• $129.5 million for infrastructure expenditures funding for projects that were not completed in 2022-2023. This amount is fully offset by lapses in appropriations in 2022-2023;

• A decrease of $9.6 million to reflect changes in the timing of planned expenditures for the Frank Channel Bridge replacement project;

• $2.2 million to purchase a Dual Seat Fireboss aircraft for wildfire management. This amount is partially offset by revenues received from the federal government;

• $1.6 million to undertake planning and scoping work for the Territorial Fire Centre; and,

• $500,000 to purchase a loader for the Fort Smith Airport. This funding is fully offset by revenues received from the federal government.

This concludes my opening remarks. Madam Chair, I would be happy to answer any questions that Members may have.
