Thank you, Madam Chair. First, I just want to comment that the Minister's description of what this section has done was excellent, and I couldn't have said it better myself. I just wanted to start off by saying that. I think, perhaps, the Minister actually just has a semantics problem, and if she takes the word "petroleum" out of the title of this section, she should no longer have the problems. I am actually really excited to see the funding in this area because this is science. This is the scientists. As well, I've had the opportunity to spend time in the Inuvik office and see what they do and how much they contribute back into the community, including running the daycare centre in Inuvik; I think he's the board member. I just want to say I think that, perhaps, just looking at renaming might be the way to go.

When I look at this, I would actually like to know if there is going to be, at any point, an increase in funding for the geologic survey. I'm worried that, as we lock down the borders, et cetera, we're losing an opportunity for us to continue on with our research, with our scientific side, with keeping up at the forefront or forerunner of the permafrost sciences, et cetera. A lot of our work or our research depends on universities external to the Northwest Territories, including external to Canada, as I mentioned in my statement, so maybe the Minister could speak to the fact that we do see -- oh, God, I have to do math here -- a $1.7 million drop there from the actuals of 2019. Maybe if the Minister could comment on that, that would be great. Thank you.
