Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses who have shown up here today.
And to Mr. Miltenberger in Yellowknife, I appreciate you coming in by teleconference. I think that's saved the government a few dollars, and it should be the way of the future.
The government in the budget implementation bill has now put in the federal cabinet the ability to set the conditions for borrowing for the three territories by regulation, so this is something they can do and have to do yet.
When it comes to projects you've talked about, Mr. Miltenberger, in terms of the investment in public utility infrastructure, in energy projects that have a return, these won't fit if the self-financing loans are included in the regulations under the borrowing cap. Is this something that you see as important to the north to give us flexibility with borrowing, to allow these types of loans to be outside of the more traditional government investment in schools, in roads, in bridges, which don't have a rate of return?
