Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that commitment. It's not just about sharing knowledge too. It's about encouraging research opportunities and bringing more funding into the North. I know that the Royal Research Institute does a lot of that work and although that's not this department, it is related to our research opportunities in the North. I just think that if we pursue those kind of opportunities such as installing research chairs, we can greatly increase the amount of funding and research opportunities that come into the North and potentially find another avenue of economic -- well, not economic development necessarily, but every dollar counts, and giving people from across the country and the world opportunities to study and learn in the North, and having a vehicle for that learning would be a great benefit to us all. I think, again, the Northwest Territories has proven itself as a leader in understanding how climate change affects the circumpolar world. I appreciate where the Minister is coming from. I'll just leave it at that. I welcome that approach. I hope we make progress on this sooner rather than later, especially in regards to the new climate change plan that the Minister is working on through this Department. Thank you. I have nothing further.
