Thank you, Mr. Chair. So we're still in the process of actually defining all of the resources that will be needed to implement a proper ground ambulance highway rescue service. We have hired a consultant, so that process is going on right at this moment. We're hoping that that will be finished within the next couple of months. We have currently $185,000 that is for the communities that are providing the highway rescue service at this time. Previously, there were strict requirements on it, that they had to use it for defined services, defined by MACA. That was raised as an issue, I'm not sure if it was in the House or by standing committee, and we also heard that. So we've expanded that, and we took the money and we divided it up to the communities that are providing that service right now. They are allowed to use it for what they see that they feel that they need towards providing highway rescue. Then, once the report is finished, we'll be looking at whether we need to increase it, what resources will be needed, and how we'll distribute that funding, recognizing that we do have one new highway to Tuktoyaktuk and that the road to Whati might need to be considered as well. So, those are the things we're looking at. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
