Thank you, Madam Chair. So under the highway operations budget, we've got $108 million for this coming fiscal year. Is any of that budget offset by federal funding? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Okay, thank you, Madam Chair. And so I believe that we get a significant amount of money from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, the ICIP program. Is that all capital funding, or does any of that funding, which I believe is about $55.4 million, does that go into operations and maintenance of infrastructure?

Thank you, Madam Chair. And just for funzies, I'm going to ask the Minister if she'll consider opening the DMV on Saturdays. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Got to keep things lively.
I also just note that we're up ever so slightly from the previous mains, so I was just hopeful that maybe that was a little bit of extra of, you know, human resource dollars paid for on Saturdays but if that's not the case, I'll be quiet. Thank you.

Madam Chair, I just want to point out there's an awful lot that can be done online now. And so I'm hoping to continue to improve the online services that folks have available to them so that they can do their DMV-related work any time, any day. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Although I appreciate that answer, and I think that's fantastic that more licensing opportunities are available online, I do not believe you can get your first NWT license online. So until that is the case, I'll keep asking for Saturdays in memory of the previous Member for Yellowknife North. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. With the climate change and winter roads going in later and closing earlier, is there any significant savings in this department?
