Thank you, Madam Chair. While we don't have the number for this year, we do have the numbers that last year we were able to keep -- about $145 million was awarded to BIP registered companies, and in comparison to the year before that, was an increase of $41 million, which is significant. And the department is always looking at opportunities to work with our Indigenous partners and local businesses to keep those economic benefits in the community, in the region, and in the Northwest Territories, so there's little money bleeding out of the Northwest Territories as possible. Thank you, Madam Chair.
