Thank you, Madam Chair. And, again, this addresses some of the issues I mentioned about capacity in communities but not only within the communities but within our own government. We were lucky enough as a committee to go and -- lucky -- to go and explore -- or take a tour of the Yellowknife City Solid Waste Facility. They don't call it a "dump" anymore. And in that, part of the tour was done by the contractor who is operating that site. And it was apparent to me that having that industry knowledge and expertise was really helping to improve the function of the waste facility. In particular, I found the innovative use of old tires to create a roadway for heavy equipment so that the heavy equipment no longer travelled on the dirt road which was eating it up every year and creating more in maintenance costs. So here we had an item that was a waste item taking up space in the landfill, and they used it to create something that saved them some operational money. So I don't know that that is necessarily -- or that type of creativity is necessarily present always in governments but yet it is always present in industry. So I think it's really key and clear here that this will only be tackled through industry partnership and is a good way to build northern business as well. Thank you.
