Thank you, Madam Chair. And this delivery that we do have is just repairing our own public housing units, and we haven't seen this amount of money come into the territories in decades. And I just think of the -- we are working with the Council of Leaders as well too and looking at, like, our policies and looking at the community housing plans, it might seem not as significant to the Member but this -- there's been extensive work in creating these documents and just really looking at what is required at the smaller community level. And what I've seen throughout the Northwest Territories is those needs -- housing needs throughout the territory are not the same, and we have some communities that are strictly looking at either homeownership; they're looking at more public housing units; they're looking at putting more construction on the ground. And it just varies throughout the territory. But we do have a limited budget as well too that I just really wanted to highlight that. $60 million is not very much to be honest. That's what our 100-unit rollout was about in the last year. And I see what $30 million looks like. And this is what we were able to acquire. But then with the success of the distinction based funding, it's really started to create a lot more conversation and a lot more positive responses at the local community level. We are there to be working with the Indigenous groups. Mahsi.
