Thank you. And this is the Supplementary Appropriation No. 2, the impact -- I mean, I have the numbers here. But the impact of Supplementary Appropriation No. 1 which we already proved was 160 -- a little over $160 million. So the net impact of all this -- and members of the public can find this on the back of the document but it's $188 million -- just over $188 million in the red. So is this -- why -- I mean, and these costs, some of them are certainly things you can't control due to fire and things like that but some -- again, some of these costs I think reflect -- could reflect something else. They could reflect, you know, controls -- or sustainability controls, let's call them, that aren't being applied or aren't being followed but, you know, it seems like this government either has a message that's spend no money, like a flat out freeze, which we see time to time, or it's spend as normal. So there's got to be a more balanced way that can get these supplementary estimates under control. So is there -- and not counting new revenue. I always want to see new revenue, but is there a way that the Minister can think of, or the Minister's working on, to find a way to limit supplementary appropriations to the reserve for example, or some other mechanism, that would better align expenditures to -- or better align the operations of the GNWT to the main estimates, especially around health. Thank you.
