Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll make my presentation short and to the point and move on. Yes, there's many challenges that we inherited as the 20th Assembly, carryovers, dead carryovers, misled projects, cost increases. That is for the reason why we set the -- or the Minister of Finance gave a fiscal sustainability strategy, a strategy to recognize that and balance the books. And when I look at the budget, it doesn't really 100 percent accommodate and satisfy everybody. Yes, we try, we negotiate, and we come up with the best capital plan we think is best in balancing our books and servicing the need. The need, I must emphasize, in my region alone, the only remotest area, and the largest one of this territory, and yet the most impoverished one. If I shared my wish list, I'll need more than ten minutes.

Right off the get-go, we were left with no water. That put an emphasis on the impoverished side of the community. You can't create jobs if you don't have your building materials shipped to the site. And the list goes on. And I look at the design negotiated capital plan and what's in it for the Sahtu, and the people that put me in this chair, I think to myself, yes, I support this, but I also look at the future years and try to accommodate the need and a balanced fiscal position. So in short there, Mr. Chair, I will be, yes, supporting this capital plan. Mahsi.
