Thank you, Madam Chair. So Madam Chair, these funds, and I take note, and I appreciate the comment here, that these are programs that really one of the reasons I think that they were chosen or targeted is that they are funds that people can apply to so that they are funds that then are -- the dollars go out to the communities or to individuals who can apply to the funds. So rather than relying on what is, frankly, often already stretched to capacity to deliver further capital planning programs from within GNWT departments, and particularly and including Housing, here individuals who would like to access the money from any community can do so. So I'm quite happy to have that opportunity to highlight the fact that there's been this increase to exactly that - emergency repairs, fuel tank replacements, the Home Purchase Program, mobility modifications, several others as well. Seniors aging in place, etcetera. So I am looking forward to, you know, certainly this is money that we hope does get spent by individuals in communities across the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
