Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Member is right on all counts. The on-the-land program is incredibly valuable and important. We're hearing from our partners, the Aboriginal partners, across the Northwest Territories how valuable it is. There's no growth in this budget from the GNWT in on-the-land programming, but, at the same time, there are some federal dollars that have been made available, some of them going to the IRC and some of them will likely go through the GNWT and be distributed to our Aboriginal partners. It hasn't all been worked out. We continue to pursue other people's money as much as possible to help us expand this area. There is interest. There is real interest. So much so that, on behalf of the three territories, we are going to be holding an on-the-land summit at the end of March, middle of March, at some point in March. We are bringing stakeholders from all over the country and the North to talk about the value and how to really enhance on-the-land programming in this country. Thank you, Mr. Chair
