Okay, thank you. I know there is a lot of funding under the federal grant, so will you continue to work with the community to ensure they actually get some work done in the community? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and yes, we will definitely commit to that continued ongoing work. Some of the work there includes collection of data, a hydrology assessment, hydrology modelling channel stability, and development of, obviously, the flood mitigation options. It's not only for the community of Aklavik; this is something that we want to make sure that all of our communities that are in a flood-risk zone have the option of accessing this program, and we will work with those communities moving forward. So, yes, the commitment is still there. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just under the Gwich'in land claim implementation, I see it's only $2,000, compared to other organizations at $66,000. There's not a lot of work you can do with $2,000 for a land claim organization. I know implementation has always been an issue, so are there plans to increase that? I believe in the past, depending on which department we were on, sometimes they'd get $25,000, or something. There's not a lot that can be done with $2,000. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In each of those implementation funds, those are specific to a 10-year bilateral that was negotiated with Canada, and in each case the funding is for different things. In one case, it's to support access to granular; in another case, it's with regard to land management. All we are delivering is whatever that specific bilateral allowed for us to do, so that's why the number you see is specific to the arrangement on the Gwich'in agreement that we have with Canada. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
