Thank you, Madam Chair. So, yes, so our Inuvik office has six employees budgeted within it. The work under the petroleum resources strategy is important. You know, we're looking at the export LNG opportunity. We're also supporting IRC with the MA team. So that is important work that, you know, obviously given what's going on globally right now, local sources of fuel is super important. So I view the work of that office as very critical at this point in time. We also do know that the offshore moratorium and negotiations are underway and that would also have to be administered out of our Inuvik office. So, you know, waiting for the outcome of that obviously is important. But, you know, we do assess workload. It's performance reviews every year, what is on the books. Those staff do help us on the mineral side as well. They help implement the regional mineral development strategies that we have in the IRC and the Gwich'in. So they do keep busy on not just petroleum activities, but certainly we will be looking at that in the future. And I have reached out to inquire about how and why the OROGO example happened. So I will be diving deeper into that, but not at this point. But we will -- we'll be assessing it as we go forward. Thank you, Madam Chair.
