Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, in 2022, the -- well, the -- actually, these aren't the detailed I have right in front of me here. Let me see, if I could just have a moment.
Sorry, so we're looking at breaking the amount down here that's before you, Mr. Chair. $475,000 is the request that's still remaining under the 2022 flood. There's been a number of previous budgetary requests. I should back up for a moment and note that the department isn't -- they're not appropriate as a base budget in order to do disaster response and recovery because obviously historical, you know, events vary wildly. That's the nature of a disaster and of an emergency. So they're base-funded to support emergency response in terms of organizing the emergency work but not necessarily to respond to the individual event.
So as I was saying $475,000 is helping to clean up what was remaining from 2022. 2023 wildfires, right now the request is at 45 -- 54,678,000 -- I'm getting tired too. 54 million -- $54.6 million. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
