Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. It's a very exciting time because, when we are faced with stuff like a pandemic, people start to get very creative out there. While it is nice for us to be the leader of the pack, sometimes we are not, and we get to look to what other provinces and territories are doing in order to respond to the pandemic. Right now, within the Government of Saskatchewan, they have given a million dollars to their Chamber of Commerce to support a "shop local" campaign. Then, if we look all the way over to the Atlantic provinces, PEI has done another "shop local" campaign where they have taken gift cards; they have sold them at $40 to PEI residents, but they are actually worth $50. That effort is supported by the Government of PEI. I am wondering if the Government of the Northwest Territories is looking at doing a similar initiative for a "shop local" campaign. Thank you.
