Thanks very much, Madam Chair. No. I value what the deputy minister has just pointed out, and I think it's a really important message for the government to hear. I find it ironic at times that, with a federal government that is pushing so heavily on social supports and housing, that really it's this 75-25 that ends up tying up a lot of our territorial dollars in stuff like infrastructure, which is definitely valuable and definitely important. It means that there are no dollars left over for capital projects like housing and capital projects that support addictions treatment in the Northwest Territories, which we have heard so much about on the floor this week. I think that the federal government hearing that message, that 75-25 just simply does not work for the Northwest Territories, is so important. Thank you, Madam Chair.
