Thank you, Madam Chair. And just to expand a little bit, we are -- here in Yellowknife, we have a trades program through the high school with the Yellowknife Housing Authority. But something the Minister mentioned, and I think it is one of the tools that we have that we are trying to use to change the direction that we're talking about, the community housing support initiative, we are finding ways to work with Indigenous governments, LHOs, to try to find a different way to get things done. You know, whether it's fixing furnaces in communities, whether it's doing repairs for homeowners, whether it's doing pre-trades for lack of a better word, work with students, you know, to build shacks for people. Like, we're trying to be creative and do what the local government, what the Indigenous government would like us to try to do, and trying to be flexible with that program so that we can do innovative things with the communities. So we're trying to move a step in that direction. It does take time. But as the Minister said, you know, baby steps, but the other thing is then sharing that information with other LHOs so that they get the ideas and can share them around and maybe what has been done in Fort Good Hope is a great model for, you know, another community to use. So that's really important too, and that's part of our reasons for managers meetings, board meetings, to be able to share some of those innovative ideas that we do. Thanks, Madam Chair.
