Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't have detail here as to exactly what challenges there may have been, I mean aside from having been in this government and seeing the community of Hay River go through a number of various challenges and emergencies over the last couple of years, but I can say that we are expecting the design to be completed here 2025-2026, so that much is on schedule, and construction would be starting as soon as possible thereafter. And yes, Mr. Chair, the construction -- well yes, and in fact I can say with a little more certainty, Mr. Chair, that it was the 2021 flood event that did require in fact a whole new site to be selected so that it would not be impacted by future potential waters and flood waters. And with anything that kind of lasted in between that period of time to now, there's been some additional inflationary pressures on those budgets. So reason for the delay, and then a move, and then now, of course, a bit more of delay having to rescope the budget. Thank you.
