Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I would certainly put the hat on as being Minister responsible for the Public Service to say that I know many, many public servants in all departments have faced a great deal of challenges over the last few years and, frankly, have, you know, performed, I would argue, very admirably well under those circumstances nonetheless.
Out of the projects here, there's 20 that are complete or over 50 percent completion, another 31 that are underway and moving forward. There are others that have not started, or we aren't quite sure where they are in process. So it's that cohort of projects that I think would warrant a further look from folks at MACA and see if there's a particular barrier that needs to be resolved. You know, again, the overall spend in 2022-2023 of $285 million is higher than what was spent over many years in the last ten years. So whether the community projects are at all different from that or not is not an analysis I have in front of me. I can certainly take that away and take a look at it. If there's no difference between what the communities have been able to deliver versus the $285 million that the GNWT has, then I'd suggest that we are actually all collectively, as governments, in the Northwest Territories doing all right. If there's a distinct difference between what the municipalities have been able to advance and what the GNWT is, then I agree, then we need to look at what those barriers and see if we can support communities. Thank you.
