Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, yes, we're working very closely with the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation. The moratorium, the discussions, the offshore accord, the science-based review, were to be done in partnership with the Yukon government, the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, and the governments of the Northwest Territories, with Canada of course. Since that time, though, we've also got engagement from the premier of Nunavut who is also interested in the work that's happening. So we are working together, all of us, to make sure that the interests of the North will be protected because when the moratorium was first enacted in the NWT, we lost jobs, we lost potential, and I am concerned that the Beaufort Delta needs to have an economy. So I will continue that work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
