Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the technical -- Technology Service Centre, there's the variance there. So the budget was underestimated for the assets that were pushed into service, and then the increase is more about the amortization for any of these GNWT assets. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Statements in the House
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to ask Connie to speak -- or Ms. Lee to speak a little bit more to it. Thanks.
Thank you, Madam Chair. The answer is yes, but I'd want to give Connie an opportunity to explain that really quick. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to have Ms. Lee speak to the explanation on the budget.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, Connie is still to me right but to my left I have assistant deputy minister Tracy St. Denis. And she's ADM for programs and services. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, if the Member's asking us to share what we have in terms of -- I believe this is still in the planning stage, you know. So we are looking at that as an option. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, in Gameti, we are not looking at a transmission line however we are working at looking at perhaps a mini hydro. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the highway goes north-south and the routing for this is going east-west so, I mean, it really doesn't line up. But I'm going to have the -- Mr. Jenkins just speak a little bit more because, I mean, he's got a little bit more technical knowledge. I just know that road's going this way and that transmission's going that way, and that don't line up, so. Thank you, Madam Chair.
So thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, as part of the consultation engagement and planning activities for this Whati Transmission Line, Department of Infrastructure provided funding to the Tlicho government to begin updating the existing technical work, the work plan, and the traditional knowledge study. So this is -- although this is early stage of the work, it's still underway to be completed by the 2022-2023-fiscal year. Madam Chair, we are also working with Tlicho on many other projects. And this is good government to government working relationship and partnership. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, you know, we have targets to meet within reducing greenhouse gas emissions. So, I mean, we as a department, we as a government, are looking at, you know, innovative ways to be able to reduce that. And if I can have Mr. Jenkins speak a little bit more about some of the things that we are doing and looking forward to. Thanks.
