Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, I have questions for Madam Premier. I know that the government has a lot of programs and services designed through different programs, through the communities. Since COVID hit, has Cabinet or the Premier ever thought about talking to the hamlet councils in the small communities, remote communities, about giving them a funding package other than what they normally would say? If the community asked for something, they would say, "Use your O and M," or, "Use your gas tax money; we're not going to give you nothing." However, since COVID hit, everything has been stretched out. Is there any possible way that the government could give a stimulus package to the hamlets across the territory, especially in my riding of Nunakput? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
