Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess, I know they were talking about regional appeal committees being set up, but people in the communities don't want to, like, people who are appealing from Res don't want a committee that's established in Yellowknife, or Fort Smith, or Hay River, to hear their income support appeals. I think the appeals should be heard at the community level, whether it's a three or four-person volunteer committee, which probably, you know, no honorariums attached, but I just believe that it will be just more client favourable, I guess, for everybody in a community if there are actually people in the community who know the people, who see them everyday and know their situations to be on this appeal committee. Is there any appetite for addressing that need instead of going by regional appeal committees? Thank you.
