Thank you, Madam Chair. I agree with what my colleague has said. And for me coming back to the young man and the youth I was speaking about before, you know, in trying to help him access funding for tournaments and such, often some of these things just don't fit into either what the Indigenous organization that he belongs to, what they need to have happen, whatever the government will provide for. And where I see sort of an example of this is if it's a tournament or one where it's not like an invite or a team that's going from the territory and the youth wants to go by themselves because there's going to be, you know, athletic scouts there, they've taken it upon themselves to get themselves invited to this tournament or to be involved with it and finding that they don't have access to funds for it, and these are the children -- especially the fact that -- or the youth, sorry -- that they are taking the initiative themselves and have a bright future, they have a goal they're working towards. So I think making it flexible for them to be able to determine that that's how they want to get -- that's where they want to get money for, then I think that would be a very, very good thing. Thank you, Madam Chair.
