Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this project initially came to -- into play for the GNWT before my time even in this House. And so its initial conception did not go through the same exact processes that we have now put into place today. But understanding the kinds of potential outcomes -- and I'm just trying to get to the substantiation sheet where there's a macroeconomic analysis lens that has since been applied to the project, due to the time, to try and determine what some of the benefits would be. Sorry, Mr. Chair, I'm just looking through -- oh, Mr. Chair, look, it's coming right at me now.

So -- yes, so as I said, initially when it came through the GNWT's process back in 2018-ish, or perhaps earlier than that, did not necessarily have the same rigor that we're applying now. But it has continued to go through the process, and it is being -- the same lenses are being applied now. So, for example, the macroeconomic lens considerations that every project does go through has economic effects estimated as being growth in terms of output in jobs over 30 years. Somewhere between 17,000 to 33,000 in gross sort of outputs, and then 20,000 to 40,000 in jobs. And the idea there, of course, is trying to analyze what the potential impacts would be over that period of time for having access to this region in a way that we do not currently.

Specific employment opportunities in terms of person positions, somewhere between 680 and 1,400 per year rather than over 30, a little bit of an easier number to grasp, Mr. Chair. And showing actually benefits that could be realized not only in the Northwest Territories but Canada which would be important for seeking investment from the federal government. I mean and, again, going on in this particular lens with the different benefits that it could have.

So, you know, Mr. Chair, there's -- the other assessments are done. I'm not sure -- again, I'm conscious of the time so I'm going to stop there, Mr. Chair. But if there's a specific item that's from the lens or the risk analysis that the Member wants me to speak to, I'm happy to do that.
