Thank you. And I think it's all been said. This is an instance where we need to work with the people on the ground, the communities, Indigenous governments, and we need to go to Ottawa. And, again, we need that infrastructure in Ottawa so that once we show up there, the people on the ground have been briefed, they know what's going on, they understand the issue. Because this is not a simple issue. I mean, I've talked to the now Speaker many times about the governance in the territory, and it is a tapestry of different systems that as Minister of MACA he was aware of. And this is also an example of how we need to work with the MLAs, because although the Speaker doesn't stand up in the House and wag his finger at the government, nonetheless he's an MLA, and he does work for his constituents, and so this is one where I would rely on his expertise in this area and work with him to make those connections in the communities. So there's lots that can be done. It's just a matter of putting our mind to it and having the infrastructure in place so that we can work with the Indigenous governments, the communities, and Ottawa. Thank you.
