Thank you. I would love to see that happen. The way education is structured in the territory, the governing system, the delivery of programming is the responsibility of the education authorities, and so it's really up to the regions and the communities as to whether or not they want to offer that. Looking at the modernization of the Education Act, this is an area where there is an opportunity maybe to be more prescriptive, if we need to be, or if that's what the public wishes, but right now, it's not up to us. However, a lot of the work that we do at ECE in terms of revitalization is supporting new language speakers, and those are needed in order to teach the courses. I know, right now, it can be difficult sometimes to find Indigenous-language speakers who can teach certain programs, and so we support their efforts in that way. Thank you.
