Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I actually think that the military spending is a great way for the Northwest Territories to get more infrastructure built that's not on our dime. And I do remember there was a conversation earlier about that as well.

I guess my question or maybe comment is that when I was at COP, I had the opportunity to sit down with the MP for Okanagan who is the Conservative Party shadow Minister to environment and climate change. So he plays a role in the opposition in keeping track of these sorts of things.

What occurred to me at that time is the consensus style government actually is a detriment to us in that we have no collaboration with the opposition of Canada in the sense that if we were a partied system, we would have people from that party who would then feed up to their party at the federal level.

So I guess my question/comment is around does the Minister see worth in engaging the Conservative Party of Canada to -- who is more of a supporter of military spending to put pressure on the federal government to increase DND spending in the North and the northern sovereignty. Thank you.
