Thank you, Madam Chair. So, you know, obviously, Madam Chair, my comments have to be limited to within the scope of what the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment can speak to. EIA is coming next so, you know, heads up to my colleagues who are going to be sitting here shortly. But with respect to what the Department of ITI can do, you know, I can speak, Madam Chair, to the work we've already done with the Intergovernmental Council and more on the development of the Mineral Resources Act regulations. But ITI has been the lead department to enact and to put forward and to work with the Intergovernmental Council at the secretariat level, in particular to really co-develop and what is happening with the Mineral Resource Act regulations. And that process is one that has been very intensive. We've been figuring out and understanding how it will look as its evolved. And, you know, I think that's -- if I was to point to one thing that speaks to how the Northwest Territories is going to have to evolve the way we govern and do our governance, both as a public government and then vis-a-vie Indigenous governments and modern treaty holders, that is a process that, again having now seen and unfold, provides some very, I think, exciting lessons for how things can be done differently. The other one I'd point back to is the procurement review where, again, we've been trying to do that not only as a government led/government run but as one that is inclusive. It takes a little longer to have a more inclusive conversation but the product at the end is hopefully better. Thank you, Madam Chair.
