Thank you, Mr. Chair. Could the Minister at least just ask me what -- or sorry, let me rephrase that.

Could the Minister detail for me what the cost per slip is at least so we can kind of get an idea. Like, what's the annual cost per slip? That will I think pretty quickly give us an idea of...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't have that information but I'm hoping that it's going to pop up on my screen. Unfortunately, I don't know the cost per slip annually for a slip at Prelude Lake. But if I can get that information, I'd be happy to share it with the Member.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I mean, regardless of what the Minister brings back, I think I just wanted to share the opinion on the record that I do think a facility like this should be fully cost recovered. I don't think it's the government's obligation to be offering kind of marina services, things like this, or if it is going to be doing it, it should be doing it in a cost recovery model. So I'll await the Minister's answers back on that. But at this time, I don't think -- well, I'll ask a few more questions actually while I have a bit of time.

The next one is substantiation for the Fort Simpson Territorial Park gatehouse residence. Can the Minister give Members some detail on that one and why it's being requested?

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So currently the park does not have a designated park contractor residence which, in some cases, does not provide staff to always be on site during evening hours. So to accommodate public safety, ITI has designated one campsite where the contractors set up their camper to make sure staff are able to be on site at all times however in this case the new gatehouse residence will be able to accommodate staff, would enhance visitor safety in the park, and provide a space where park staff are present at all times in the park, which is how we operate in some of our parks but in this location they don't currently have that available to them. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So my questions are about the proposed Cameron River Crossing Territorial Park, the tent pad camping area, which would actually be within my riding.

The first question, which aspects of this project are planned for 2025-2026 and over how many years is it proposed to -- the construction of the project is supposed to extend for? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, in 2024-2025 is the completion of the conceptional design access road engineering. There's also the site survey in addition to community consultation. And then in 2025-2026, we would have the building of the access road, gate installation as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister clarify, she mentioned 2024-2025. Is that money or work that's all -- is that money that's already been expended and work that's already been done? Or what was the reference to 2024-2025? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, that is dollars that would have been allocated in a previous capital budget. However, because of evacuation, we did have some carryovers happen so that that will be carried over into this coming capital season. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And so are there any aspects of the project that are not included in that $315,000 that would have to be completed in a subsequent year and, if so, do we know how much that would cost? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
