Thank you, Mr. Speaker -- sorry, Mr. Chair. It's been a long day.

I wanted to start just picking up the conversation first with Taltson pre-construction planning. I understand that for now we have 100 percent federal funding to continue with the planning, and I understand the GNWT is only one partner at the table; however, I think it's time for us to start considering what the GNWT's own portion of the future investment would need to be and to contemplate -- in a public way, to have those numbers out there publicly and to have the discussion as to whether that GNWT portion of the investment, both in terms of capital and ongoing O and M, is realistic, is palatable for people. And so I ask the Minister today would she make public what is estimated to be the cost to the GNWT of a Taltson project starting with phase one. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
