Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I won't be long. I just need a little clarity because it seems like there was a little bit of a contradiction in the answer. When I asked the question out of the $93 million surplus how much was not committed, the answer I got was $60 million was yet to be committed. So did the Minister mean yet to be tendered or yet to be committed?

Okay, thank you. So the entire $60 million has projects attached to it, buildings attached to it, for 2024-2025, and then the remainder of the $93 million is carryover from ongoing projects that started last year previous year, is that correct?

Thank you. Sorry if I seemed confused, I just want to make sure I have the proper information. And of the $60 million that is earmarked for projects that is yet to be tendered, those projects were all projects that were scheduled for 2024-2025, or are those projects that carried over from previous years and/or projects that will move into next fiscal year?

Okay. So the majority of the $60 million is projects that weren't done last year. For various and sundry reasons that we discussed earlier about capacity and contractors and so on and so forth? Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. No further questions.
