Thank you. So we had taken a different approach with the Education Act. You know, I would have loved to get it all done in four years and have the brand new modern act. But through our initial engagement, we realized that it's going to take much longer to really overhaul that entire act and so I expect that we won't see a fully modernized act until sometime in the next Legislative Assembly. However, my hope is that during this Legislative Assembly, we can make some more minor amendments to the Education Act to address some longstanding issues that are -- you know, not just housekeeping issues but not very -- not substantive perhaps but we believe they would make a difference in the years that we are modernizing the rest of the act. So we're breaking it into two phases. The first phase, I hope, will be complete this year, and phase -- or sorry, this Assembly. And phase 2, my hope is that it would be completed during the next Assembly but we are fully committed to fully engaging and codeveloping with our Indigenous government partners and so the time is -- it's unknown when it will be completed. Thank you.
