Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess, I look at this and I listen to the discussion and I think about the people out there that will probably never come to this building, don't feel welcome in this building and, you know, will probably never talk to some of you as MLAs here. And, you know, I guess coming from Hay River, coming from a -- you know, a community -- again, my office is on main street. I get people in there that -- again, that walk by and just come in. And I probably get, you know, 20, 25 people a day coming through there. Some of them just to drink coffee and other ones to actually -- you know, with issues. And you've got people that are, you know, in suits. You've got people that are -- that are on the street. And I think that it's important that we don't forget that we're here to represent everybody, like all our constituents, not just some of them. So I guess that's my big thing is that I'm concerned is that, you know, I just want to make sure that, you know, everybody's looked after and this is an opportunity to, you know, to consider it. And when it comes down to financial costs, I would hope that we would find some, you know, some financial support outside the -- you know, the monies allotted to the Yellowknife MLAs to fund something like this. Thank you, Madam Chair.
