Thank you, Mr. Chair. And like the Minister, you know, I have -- my background was actually initially with an LHO here and even I can't explain some of the rationale about why it was created because it was -- it predated me. But in my time here, I've seen a lot of ebb and flow about levels of responsibility to LHOs and, you know, it's very much changed with the government relationship over time and sometimes there's been more responsibility locally, and other times there's been other things. So I think that's part of the reason for the desire to have the conversation as part of the renewal. But I think one of the things you're pointing out is the need for flexibility. Not only for different sized communities or different structures but also, as you've alluded to, in some cases Indigenous governments may want to take the LHO over, and sooner, and in other cases they may not. And we started to hear some of that conversation as part of our engagement on the renewal. So I think whatever we come up with as part of the renewal has to be able to be flexible enough to accommodate some of these -- these different situations that are going to evolve over time and not lock us in to one model that may not work. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
