Thank you, Madam Chair. This one speaks to me clearly, reference to engineering. One of the things that was shown in the past was that as more women entered the field of engineering, design and such changed to then accommodate things that women thought of that were needed in areas that had not been before, and one of those is the examples is having a mirror in the driver's side panel that flips down. Before it was always on the passenger side with the assumptions that women were always the ones as passengers. And so as you have more people of a diverse nature being involved in different professions, you see those professions change and evolve and become more inclusive of society. You know, until I'm sure somebody with a disability came into an organization, people didn't really think about the fact that, you know, they couldn't walk up those stairs or that curb was prohibitive. And I think the same thing is here. And as an engineer who operated not in the building sciences but in the North, you know, it never occurred to me things like that there was a need for a utilities-style room in which to dry food, to make dry meat, things like that. I would never know that coming into a -- and most of my colleagues would not either. And so I think there's a real unique opportunity here for people to, you know, really do some creative and innovative design. And all it really takes, I think -- because engineers, we're nerds. We like to do things neat and fun and cool and we're very open to listening to a lot of different things and inputs because that's how we optimize our designs and our projects. So to me this is really cool because I think we could end up having these really innovative-type communities where, you know, even the circle and having the communal centre in the middle and then having smaller -- you know, the houses around, having that utility room. Even something such as some of the cooking that's done by Indigenous people, as my colleague explained, produces more condensation inside the apartment because there's a lot more of boiling and things going on and such. And I don't think that's something that your average southern, you know, non-Indigenous engineer, architect or whatever, is going to think of when it comes time to buildings. So I think this is such a neat thing and a really great way that, you know -- to ensure that the money and projects that we are spending and developing will then actually work for our people and stop imposing sort of these southern ideas on it. So I'm excited for this one, and I really support it. Thank you.
