Thank you. I appreciate the question.
It was exciting—and not only the intertie projects. I was in Iqaluit last week to announce the Iqaluit hydro project, which is 100% Inuit owned.
There are a number of things in the budget. There's the doubling of the indigenous loan guarantee from $5 billion to $10 billion. There are the amendments for the special purpose vehicles. There's the increase in the Canada Infrastructure Bank, going up to $45 billion.
In my home territory, the projects that they're looking at—Taltson, the Arctic security corridor and the Mackenzie Valley Highway—are all projects that they're working with the Canada Infrastructure Bank on. The critical minerals sovereign fund, I think, is also another opportunity for those of us in critically rich mineral areas. There are a number of different funding pots that indigenous nations and businesses, as well as non-indigenous businesses, can access.
I'm happy to chat further with you and other constituents who would like more information on these projects.
