Thank you, Mr. Chair. The last question is was this conclusion reached that we have, like, a hole that -- or a gap that we need to fill here, was that based on some kind of survey or -- like, who has the department talked to to determine that we have this unmet need or this market for this kind of campground? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we often hear about people along the Ingraham Trail who have cabin leases or who are using areas along the trail that they find people kind of camping in different spaces so it allows us to use existing space that we have within ITI in order to provide an experience that people are very clearly looking for. It operates on -- or will operate on an honour system and affords access to kind of off-the-beaten-path style camping both for residents and non-resident the alike. It is another way for us to attract people to the territory and also another route for us to afford on land experiences for residents. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question is about the 60th Parallel Territorial Park outhouse that's at Enterprise, wheelchair accessible outhouse. Is that -- you're going to build a new outhouse there, or is it going to go with the existing outhouse that's by the territorial park? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, this is the installation of a gravity-fed water system to upgrade the existing outhouses and potentially capable of supporting flush toilets. These enhancements would increase the number of total outhouses on site at the pullout to three. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is that going to be used year-round? Is that the year-round access? If it's year-round, it will be heated I'm assuming? Thank you.

Oh, that's awesome. I have a lot of people that travel back and forth and they're probably really happy right now to hear that news. What is the cost of that going to be to build that? Thank you.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, unfortunately, and I think that we've -- it's no secret that a lot of times the capital dollars that we invest in capital investments often are vandalized and we end up in a very frustrating situation where we are trying to stretch our dollars as far as possible in order to serve residents of the Northwest Territories and we end up with things being vandalized and destroyed. And so this here is in response to arson, vandalism, theft, and trespassing occurrences that have resulted in infrastructure damage that has exceeded tens of thousands of dollars. And so this is not something we normally do at parks, but in response to trying to preserve the investment of hard-earned tax dollars of the people of the Northwest Territories, this is one of the things that we are trying out. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So that is just for monitoring for the winter months? Because it's closed in the summer, right? So are you doing this to monitor in the summer as well as the winter or just in the summer? Thank you.
