Thank you. I'm going to go to the Member from Yellowknife North.

Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. I would just ask that perhaps the Minister could provide me with some written details of what this rehabilitation work entails and what improvements we can expect. I would very much appreciate that. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm going to go to the Minister of Finance.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, certainly happy to provide more detail. Just in brief, there is some work that's being done in terms of the drainage, culverts, surface improvements. There's dips that are -- that become present and become in some cases very severe on this particular stretch of highway and all throughout, and so trying to smooth those out which sometimes seems like an endless task. But that's the overview of it. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister, and thank you to your witnesses for appearing before us.

Thank you. We're going to continue on.

Committee, we have agreed to consider Tabled Document 202-20(1), Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 1, 2024-2025. I'm going to move on. I will now open the floor for general comments. Member from Range Lake.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll be brief. The supplementary estimates contain, amongst other things, increases due to the last round of collective bargaining and items that were negotiated by Members on this side of the House with Members of that side of the House to improve services to our constituents. So largely this is something I welcome. It is part of our process to realign spending priorities based on needs and the things in here are the result of -- many of the spending in here is a result of the hard work of all Members of this House to find compromise and better reflect the needs of our communities. So I just wanted to put that clearly on the record in case anyone listening was interested in the overall picture painted by these supplementary estimates. Thank you.

Thank you. Is there any further general comments from Members? Seeing none.

Committee, we will begin on page 3 with the Legislative Assembly. Are there any questions? Sorry about that. Seeing no further general comments, we will review the supplementary estimates by department. The committee has agreed to forego general comments on each department. Does the committee agree to proceed to the detail contained in the tabled document?

Thank you. Committee, we will begin on page 3 with the Legislative Assembly. Are there any questions? Seeing none, I'll continue on.
