Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, I think just adding a little bit more to what the Minister said, staffing wise on highway operations, I don't think we have any concerns. We have the North Slave and South Slave operate their own forces, and we're always able to find qualified individuals to do that work. And in the Deh Cho and the Beaufort Delta, have contracted service and we have -- you know, we have plenty of good talent in those regions as well. In terms of cost increases, we're seeing the same inflationary pressures that we see across the board. The price of asphalt, oil, as the Minister noted earlier, is impacting the amount of chip seal done. It's also impacting the amount of maintenance that we can do. Cost of aggregate is going up, same as everything else. So, yeah, we are starting to see those impacts, and we'll go through the business planning process to seek increases for budgets as we need to. So thank you, Madam Chair.
