Thank you, Madam Chair. And this is a discussion I'm sure the Member knows not only in the territories but across the country as well, and there's a best practices and sharing that go on regularly at our FPT meetings to learn from each other and the differences are not -- they're not so different. But as the Minister explained, there's remote appearances. We went to bail and show cause hearings remotely in detachments, so this is an excellent option for those in the community. They're not removed and brought to Yellowknife. This equipment is to be installed in 20 detachments. So the first six went live in September 2021. Other detachments have been activated as necessary. And we only have three now yet to go live, and that's Sachs Harbour, Fort Resolution, and Hay River still in process. We also have remote docket appearances that were circuits that were -- I won't call it piloting but we're trying out that system as well. So it's an alternating circuit where there's, you know, not matters where a judge would need to see a person testify, give evidence, that sort of thing. So there may be a facts and sentencing, adjournment, that sort of thing; they can all be done remotely. So those are the two initiatives that we've definitely continued with and taken advantage of. Thank you, Madam Chair.
