Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I wanted to start first with just noting that this overall request of $26 million for this item is the highest second only to wildfire-related expenses, so I think it's significant. The $18 million supplementary that's requested for payment on our debt, I appreciate the explanation given earlier by the Minister as to why costs have gone up. Can the Minister give some perspective as to how much of an increase this is over what we had budgeted to be spent on paying interest on debt or paying off debt? So how much is the $18 million adding to in terms of how much we're paying on our debt-related expenditures this fiscal year?
