Thank you, Mr. Chair. I wanted to ask the Minister the questions on the cross-border water monitoring. I see later on in the department requests that we're going to be dealing with the marine training society -- or the Marine Transportation Services on additional funds. This is a result of the low waters that we're probably running into a deficit with that MTS service.

Is there discussions as part of the bilateral on the monitoring of the Mackenzie River Water Basin and making it known during these bilateral discussions that your management of the water levels, particularly in the site C Bennett Dam area on the release of water is really affecting the downstream services of this government and communities? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
