Thank you, Mr. Chair. I apologize; I was getting ahead of myself as we often do.

Mr. Chair, I'd like to again thank the -- certainly thank the Members of AOC. I mean, it's been an interesting couple of weeks for sure as we've deliberated on this budget and negotiated on this budget and, as the Minister said, I'll certainly speak more to it once we have the main estimates in front of committee tomorrow.

I would like, again, to thank Members of AOC for their direction, for certainly working collaboratively to work towards our common goal and thank Cabinet for their support as well. The housing funding that the Minister spoke of certainly is no small ask, and I think we all recognize in this House the importance of that priority to this government. We've -- you know, we've been saying it for the past year, you know, housing is likely our number one priority and to see this kind of a commitment going forward in this year's budget, coming back on the supplemental appropriation of $41 million to add to the additional funding that housing has already budgeted, I think will put us, Mr. Chair, up to, you know, upwards of $50 million this year alone with anticipating more funding coming in the next two years as we'll go through the budget -- through our capital budgeting process for even more housing and certainly addressing that important need.

So for now, Mr. Speaker, again -- Mr. Chair, I'd like to, again, thank my colleagues, thank the Minister of Finance for her time, and we'll leave it at that until tomorrow. Thank you.
