Yes, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we consider volunteering in the NWT a very important aspect of our society. We need the volunteers in the communities. I'm sure that would continue without Volunteer NWT. But this is a very good program, the whole initiative for volunteering and the whole area that Volunteer NWT has been covering is very important for us. We will do whatever we can to support them. We've looked at ways and are trying to come up with options that we can try to come and fill the void. It's going to be a real challenge, given our resources, but it's something we're going to continue to have discussions with Sport North, Volunteer NWT, and see if we can come to some way of moving forward with continuing to support volunteers in the NWT. Thank you.
