Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to talk a bit about I guess basic income. We're talking -- we're providing income anyway, assistance to people. And basic income, you know, it's been batted around. We talk about it. There's been, you know, people -- different jurisdictions have tried it, and some of the things that came out of it it is shown that, you know, people who receive it are less likely to be hospitalized, likely more willing to continue education. It also doesn't discourage people from working. It helps them to, you know, get out there and actually look for work as well. So I'm just wondering has the department assessed what the number for a basic income would be for the NWT? Thank you.
