Thank you, Minister of Infrastructure. Final last question, supplementary question. Yellowknife North.

That's okay. I feel like I could delve much more but I know we're running out of time. So I just appreciate the Minister's commitment to make that special consideration for the benefit of all of us. Thank you.

Time has expired for oral questions. Written questions. Return to written questions. Replies to the Commissioner's address. Petitions. Reports of committees on the review of bills. Reports on standing and special committees. Tabling of documents. Minister of Finance.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the following two documents: Interim Estimates, Operations Expenditures, April 1st to June 30th, 2024, and Annual Report 2022-2023 Northwest Territories Power Corporation and Northwest Territories Hydro Corporation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Minister. Being respectful of the time, we will have a quick break. Thank you.
