Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, this is a matter of timing of why it comes before the House. So the modular units were in Yellowknife and were due to be dismantled and then find their new home. And so that work was already underway, and so part of the costs here actually have already been incurred. And then they were to be moved -- then meanwhile, also there was site preparation underway up in Tuktoyaktuk to receive the modulars when they arrived there. And a fair bit of the cost actually was related to demobilizing and deconstructing and then preparing the site. The transportation costs was only around $120,000 of the total cost that's involved. So now all that said, obviously, that portion and any further building in Tuk is being delayed pending what happens in terms if we can find some other option within the parameters of the funding that is being proposed here. At the moment, I don't have another option to propose, but again, with those works already well underway when this came forward, we are still bringing it to Assembly for this costing and, again, there's -- you know, I know the Minister for ECE and Minister of Infrastructure are both keen to see that some solution can be found. I just at the moment don't have one. But, really, the site preparation, again, was already underway and was a large part of the cost. Thank you.
