Yeah, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to speak a bit to the role of tourism development officers, especially as we seem to be placing more of these positions in communities, but I think there's a bit of a -- sometimes those communities simply don't have the operators or tourism infrastructure already. And I think we could look at some other models. I point to the McPherson tent and canvas company, a subsidiary that we own that loses money every year, but I think it -- it's worth it. It's worth owning that to provide services. And I'm just wondering, given tourism development officers are often there to inspect operators, are they actually empowered to maybe work with the Indigenous governments or work with communities to establish some sort of other model where we provide services and if we got to subsidize it for the first few years, Mr. Speaker, I'd be more than happy to see that. Thank you.
