Okay, Madam Chair, I will leave it there. But the search is just beginning. I would love to have a deeper dive into how the public service has grown so dramatically over the past five years but that will be an investigation for a future time. Thank you.

There's a motion on the floor to report progress. The motion is in order and non-debatable. All those in favour? Members in favour raise hands. All those opposed? Yes, all those opposed? Motion is defeated.
Members, before we move on to the next Minister and department, we will consider the borrowing plan, which can be found on page XX of the tabled document.
The borrowing plan is separate from the estimates but is required by the Financial Administration Act to be presented with the estimates.
Further, the borrowing outlined in the plan will be included in the forthcoming appropriation bill that will be presented to the Assembly.
Members, please turn to page XX of the tabled document, Borrowing Plan for the Government Reporting Entity and Established Borrowing Limits for the Government of the Northwest Territories. Are there any questions?
Seeing no further questions, committee, I will call the page Borrowing Plan for the Government Reporting Entity and Established Borrowing Limits for the Government of the Northwest Territories, total consolidated borrowing, $1,616,110,000. Does the committee agree?
