Okay. Clearly, I'm not an accountant. This funding was authorized in 2021-2022. The project is not done. And here you've got a public call for people to express their views on this and closing this year. Why is the authorization to carry over the money from 2021-2022 to future years? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm not an accountant either. Let me take one run at it and if -- but if not, I can certainly ask one of the folks with me to do so. But the money only needs to come in as a carryover if that amount is required in the upcoming year. So if the amount for 2022-2023 wasn't spent and was required in 2023-2024, it would be a carryover. For a multi-year project, if there's going to be future asks coming in for 2024-2025 in our capital plan, then you'll see it in the capital plan. But in a multi-year project, it may well be that they don't need to carry over an amount from 2023-2024 into this one. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks. So was this carryover, then, authorized in the 2023-2024 Capital Estimates? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I recall that there is an amount budgeted in 2023-2024. That was approved through the capital estimates last fall. There's no carryover being proposed from 2022-2023 into 2023-2024. And, again, this is a multi-year project expected to be completed in 2025. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Your time has expired. I think we -- I think this is a conversation that Member can have with the Minister and her staff to try and figure out that.
