Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, in addition to the budget that you see in the main estimates here, in total, we also distributed just over $1.8 million in additional federal funding to support sport and recreation in the COVID environment, but in terms of what we've done differently, we have worked with communities to look at what kinds of programs can be offered safely in a COVID environment. We've also assisted communities in applying to have their facilities opened, reopened after COVID, so what they needed to put in place to properly put their safe restart program in place for their specific facilities, as well as working with the NWTAC, Association of Communities to share ideas about unique ways to do things in the COVID environment. Many folks will remember last spring, with jamborees, folks were sharing information on what could be done safely, how to use some of this money to operate jamborees or community events but do it in a COVID compliant way. That's where a lot of our staff's efforts had been focused to help communities to ensure that programs can continue to operate but be operated in a COVID safe manor. Thank you, Madam Chair.
