Thank you, Mr. Chair, my apologies. I think I just wasn't fast enough getting my hand up. Mr. Chair, just a very brief comment. Certainly, I know I'll just say for my own departments, I did find the comments today very helpful and wanted to encourage, you know, a couple of examples, again, drawing only really from my own departments, but it was just to say when I have my other hat on and not as Member for Yellowknife South, but it is a sincere hope that the business plans can be used in the main estimates reviews that we're about to go through. Having four-year business plans was something new only as of the last Assembly, and tieing them to the same timing as main estimates is new as of this process. So there are some growing pains in that process. It was something that I can say directors of policy and finance from across departments were very glad to see, certainly streamlines their work, rather than spreading it across the year but, more importantly, the main estimates provides the funding through which the departments do all of the things in the business plans, including the opening sections. So not every activity of every single public servant necessarily finds itself in the mandate document of the government, but every public servant is contributing to the core functioning of every department. And that is included in the opening sections of everyone's business plans, and it's often reflected throughout some of the background work that may be going into contributing to the mandate activities that are in the business plan.

So, for example, again, I'll rely only on finance, to the extent that there's questions around what kinds of recruitment activities there are, there is a section in main estimates for human resources, which then would be an opportunity to speak to what is happening in the human resources area and what they're doing to contribute to the mandate, what they're doing to contribute to retention of health care workers, for example.

In Infrastructure, I know there was mention specifically on the energy strategy. When the main estimates document comes forward, the energy and strategic infrastructure division has funding there, and it may well be an opportunity to ask what they're doing with their funding to advance that work and to see that it gets done quickly.

So throughout there was an opportunity here in saying that focusing on the business plans and not just the numbers in the budget, Mr. Chair, I hardly agree and, again, acknowledging this is the first time we've done it this way and acknowledging it's still a new Assembly, I sincerely hope that I -- I hope I'm not overstepping my speaking for my colleagues on this side, but I think we all want to speak to the business plans in conjunction with the, right now, proposed $2.2 billion associated with achieving all of the work in those business plans. So I hope we find a way that we can integrate that and also, of course, we'll look forward to what may come of committee's motion at accountability and oversight. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
