Thank you, Madam Chair. So we do provide funding support and information to Indigenous governments and Indigenous organizations, and important areas for caribou have been identified by the Tlicho government, the Athabasca Denesuline, North Slave Metis Alliance, and the NWT Metis Nation. We're committed to supporting the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, Lutselk'e Dene First Nation, and Deninu Kue to do similar work. Two workshops were held in 2022 to share information on legal tools for protection and a recent technical analysis using barren-ground caribou collar data helped to identify and prioritize water crossings. The workshop also provided an opportunity to discuss next steps, and there is interest in identifying barren-ground caribou habitat protection in Healthy Lands, Healthy People for conservation in the NWT. Thank you, Madam Chair.
