Thank you, Madam Chair. This is the first year that this has been introduced at this -- at this funding level. There wasn't a lot being spent previously. So I think at this point, we'd like to see -- sorry, and it's application-based. So I'd like to see how this goes, what applications come in, what type of requests there are. And it may well be that it is quickly oversubscribed which, you know, was probably a good sign for the interest by Indigenous governments in the Northwest Territories in terms of seeing opportunity and wanting to take advantage of it. So if we have a wealth of oversubscriptions then I'm -- then I may well have to figure out what we're going to do going forward and how to manage that going forward, knowing the pressures put upon me by the Minister of Finance. Thank you, Madam Chair.
