Thank you, Madam Chair. So Madam Chair, the mineral incentive policy, I would suggest, should at some point go to the deputy minister just to speak to the specific amounts that we've been able to leverage over the course of many years for this where it's -- it is an incentive program whereby exploration companies can apply, and now advanced exploration companies as well can apply, in order to help encourage them to bring and spend their exploration dollars here in the North. There's a lot of competition in the world right now for exploration dollars, and we want to make sure that we are able to provide incentives so that those dollars get spent here. If there's more exploration, then there's more likely to be more opportunity for the development of an advanced project and then an actual mine to be developed in the -- in due course. You can't -- you can't develop mines without doing the exploration to start, Madam Chair. Thank you.
