Thank you, Madam Chair. And actually I think that's the first time in a long a time on talking around this topic that I'm feeling a bit of hope that perhaps maybe things are going to start to pick up. And I just want to state that I would be in full support if the Minister came back for a supplemental for the MIP. I think it's a great way to keep people working, and I think it's really important to recognize too, that our exploration and companies, our drilling companies, our construction companies, our ice road companies, all of them do hire Indigenous people. They're the wildlife monitors. They're often the drillers, the drillers' helpers, etcetera. So this is one way that actually does put money into the hands of residents of the Northwest Territories as well as leading to the chance for them to have royalties down the road. So I really can't express enough in this House my support for this sector. And I will leave it at that, Madam Chair. Thank you.
