Thank you, Madam Chair. So there was the change from the federal government in their last budgetary cycle now so that the travel benefits are no longer requiring folks to have that from their employer, that they can be brought more broadly claimed, and that, you know, does hopefully incentivize people, at least in the Northwest Territories, to travel. That's not necessarily the full Canada-wide kind of incentive that we might then, you know, hope for that could really draw people up to the Northwest Territories. So we don't -- I don't know if there's a tax credit or a tax incentive to do that sort of on a nation-wide basis but I can say that there's -- we've had a couple of FPTs now with the tourism minister, and the new tourism minister, Minister Boissonnault, is very keen to see a growth in this sector for all regions. I mean, everyone's had such an impact from COVID that I think there's a real pent-up -- not only demand but sort of a pent-up on the side of the supply of wanting to see that growth. So, you know, never know what might come but we'll kind of go from there. Thanks, Madam Chair.
