Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to go to the infrastructure, community infrastructure gap as well.

You know, it -- when I look at it and, you know, and I think about how it's -- we're ever going to close it, it sounds like we're not going to be looking to the feds, really, to provide any support, and it sounds like the department doesn't really think that the feds can provide the support that's required. But I find it I guess it's unreasonable to place that burden on taxpayers when in the North here, it's bad enough that the cost of living is high and it's only going to get higher as we go along here. So somehow, we've got to pay for it. So I guess I'd ask the Minister, you know, what is it? Like, what are -- we've been working at this for a while, and I'd like to know, you know, do we have any solutions in sight? Is there anything that you can see? Is there anything that -- you know, that's come across your table that you can point to and say, yeah, this here might work to close that gap? Thank you.
