Yes, there is a northern economic development strategy. I understand that we've worked with the other two territories and put it forward in Ottawa. I understand that one Cabinet committee had approved it, and another committee didn't agree with the funding. So there is always work being done in Ottawa. We're not just complaining about it, we are actually doing the work and seeing if there's a way with continuing this sustained kind of approach and pressure in Ottawa. With the Business Coalition and with our Members of Parliament, hopefully, and through this most recent agreement I mentioned earlier with the Prime Minister of looking at the way we get funding, the inequities, we may have opportunity there. Thank you.
