Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, that's the intent of having the electrical vehicle. The study says that the charging corridor would be set up on Highways No. 1 and No. 3 from Yellowknife to the Alberta border. That's our kind of big picture right now, Madam Chair. So we're hoping that some of the stations could be placed along the way to Fort Smith. So, I mean, this is a bigger picture. We are working on smaller little parts of this. You know, having said that, these don't happen over night but this is the bigger picture for us. Thank you.

Statements in the House
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the -- you know, there's perhaps never enough money out there for any type of assistance. But, I mean, we are working with the federal government in partnership with the Arctic Energy Alliance to be able to look at what sort of federal programs are out there so that we can look at perhaps adding more programs into the alliance.
And I do -- just going back a little bit, Madam Chair, so we had about 2,716 rebates. And I'm looking at all the different regions and, for example, the Beaufort Delta was the second highest at 644 rebates. So, I mean, all the different regions has a fair share of rebates. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, although Arctic Energy Alliance is arm's length, we do work in good partnership. You know, there's a lot of great things that the Arctic Energy Alliance are doing on behalf of the Government of the Northwest Territories. And, you know, they have -- we're starting to expand different things and the people that are at the table are, you know -- are people that provide good advice to the board. If I can have Mr. Jenkins just speak a little bit more to that, thanks.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, you know, in previous budget, we didn't have a line item for electrical vehicles. I've heard from the Members that, you know, this is of interest here in the Northwest Territories so we added a line. Actually we're calling it a pilot project. So this year, although it's only $10,000, it might not be enough but it's a pilot; it's a test. We will be able to assess it and perhaps if we have a good uptake, then perhaps we can set aside more money next year. And, actually, I think the amount for next year is a bit higher so, you know, we are working with what we have. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to ask Mr. Jenkins to speak a little bit more about that.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, some of the information that we're going to collect will help inform some of the applications that's going forward. Thanks.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, we're looking at in the year 2024. And if I can ask Mr. Jenkins to just speak a little bit more about that. I'm sure the Member won't be happy with me just throwing out a year so I think it's -- I think it would be appropriate for Mr. Jenkins to speak more.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I don't have that number in front of me. I might have to get back to the Member. Thank you.
Sorry, can I ask the Member to repeat the question.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, we're looking at around $9 million. Thank you.
