Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. Just for the benefit of the public, if this fund is established I guess it will be up to the Board of Management to develop some rules around how it's allocated and, you know, ideas around whether it's first come first served, or there's some set aside for each MLA on application. I have confidence that the Board of Management will develop some rules around those, and those will come back to the MLAs to have a look at. I do want to make sure that access to this is done in a fair manner and that, you know, those that may not be -- that there might be some assistance in terms of filling out applications and so on, if it's to be that kind of a process, but I do have confidence that the Board of Management will develop a fair and transparent way of allowing Members to reasonably access these training funds. And that some of it could be for, like, group training as well. I know in the last Assembly, we did some training around legislative drafting and interpretation, which I found quite useful, and I suspect that there will be further opportunities along those lines that new MLAs will benefit from. And of course, this is only going to -- yes , I'll leave it at that. Thanks, Madam Chair.
