Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, we are not aware, I'm not aware, of any consultation with Indigenous governments. Again, those are discussions that we had with them. It's important that people know when they're coming to the North, we welcome visitors to the North, but it's also important that people know that we're -- it's very harsh here in the winter and in the summer as well. So we do recognize -- we do recommend that all people that are going on expeditions into our far North, into our Arctic, consult with the Indigenous governments and get a guide - someone that knows the territory. It's not safe. You can't just drive and expect to see a gas station in the middle of nowhere. So our terrain is rugged, and our services are limited. So anyone that's coming to the Northwest Territories, please, make sure that they contact Indigenous governments and get yourself some qualified guides to be able to take you through your journey. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
