Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, this money is long awaited. The TIPs initiative was one that was rolled out or at least discussed when the SINED program was created. The SINED name was given. It really talks to some strategic focus for this money. The federal government has been in discussions with our government about areas that they would like to see supported. We've talked about tourism. We've talked about geoscience. There still will be a pot of money, I understand, that the federal government will have that will be application based. So residents from across the territory can apply for that pot of money. We had thought the funds would start to roll out in May. That hasn't happened. We're now being told June. So, Mr. Speaker, we are encouraged that the money we think is very close and as soon as I have some more information, I'll certainly bring that forward to Members. Thank you.
