Thank you, committee. 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 subsequent Appropriation Act that is presented to the Assembly. Please turn to page xv and xvi to find the borrowing plan for the government reporting entity and establish borrowing limits for the Government of the Northwest Territories. Are there any questions?
Seeing no further questions, I will now call this page, borrowing plan for the government reporting entity and established borrowing limit for the Government of the Northwest Territories. The total considered borrowing is $1,888,051,000. Does the committee agree?
