Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. Just as the Member said, there's great demand for on-the-land programming and we know that our funding in GNWT is not enough to meet the demand. So we've worked with Tides Canada, our department, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, have partnered with Tides Canada to look at a model that's been used elsewhere where we set up a collaborative and invite other agencies to put money on the table. That collaborative is in its early stages and this year, just earlier this year, the first funding pot of $300,000 was rolled out to applications from across the Territories. That's not a lot of money, but what we're hoping is by GNWT putting in a little bit of seed money and we put in about $200,000 this year, we can get the big foundations to come to the table and start growing that pot. I believe the Minister will be tabling a report on that initiative during this Session. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
