Yeah, thank you. So the department actually works hand-in-hand with the communities. We have regional staff out there that will work with communities. So when federal funding comes out that fits into -- well, sometimes they may not fit in to what we're looking at, but we try to work with the communities to see how we can make it fit in to what they're trying to achieve. So it might be a different project that they may have to do later on instead of what they're trying do. So we will look at it through that way. So we very much have staff that work together from headquarters in regions to work with them on it. So we agree that we need to be able to do that, but we do tap into it. And soon as the federal government starts providing opportunities for new programs, our headquarter staff is reaching out to them to have those conversations, what's the parameters, what the direction is and what we need to do. So we're very capable of doing that, but, again, it's about working with the communities and meeting their needs as they ask us to help. Thank you, Madam Chair.
