Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I am a huge fan of the makerspaces as well. I know that the makerspace here in Yellowknife has done a lot with an initial investment from ITI. In fact, I think I'm meeting with them for an update tomorrow because they are continuing to see an expansion of their programs. I can say, very frankly, the thing that I've heard from them as to what their success has been, as well as in Inuvik what the challenges they're seeing, is having a local champion, someone who also believes in the program as much as the Member and I do. We can provide those dollars, but if there's not someone to grow and expand the program, it won't grow and expand. It does need someone there. So yes, Mr. Chair, we're happy to work with any local community, community organization, that's interested. There is funding available under the innovation strategies with the department, but we need someone at the community level to be the champion. Thank you.
