Thank you, Madam Chair. My next question, then, still sort of to do with the senior supports: I notice that it's for low- to modest-income NWT seniors, but to maybe actually removing the cap or the thresholds, or the income testing I guess it's called, so that all of the seniors contribute? What I look at the fact that each person coming into the territory brings $37,000 to the territory. For the number of seniors that may be over this cap or amount, I feel like we're almost kind of punishing them for staying or for being successful in their lives. I think my colleague from Thebacha has made these kinds of comments in other areas, as well. We want seniors to stay. They're a vital part of our community. They provide a whole bunch of supports around elections and things that others don't volunteer for. To me, to punish a few -- "punish" isn't the right word, but to leave out a few just because they happen to have been a bit more successful in life, I'm just wondering if there's a look at maybe removing that from the department. Thank you.
