Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I have a number of questions based on page 5 around delays to the Fort Providence-Kakisa Transmission Line.

So this project was announced back in 2021, and at that time it was valued at $60 million with $45 million of that coming from the federal government and construction was expected to start in 2023 however it's been pushed back. In 2022, it was expected completion by 2024-2025. So as of last fall, the GNWT's regulatory filing stated that this project was expected to be operational by 2026. I'm wondering if the Minister can confirm whether that timeline is still realistic given that the money is still being pushed forward for this project?
