Thank you, Madam Chair. No, I just got general comments overall. But I've been here for almost a year and a half in this position, and I continue to advocate our wishes of what I've been hearing from my leadership in Lutselk'e; for example, you know, winter roads, and I've been bringing this issue forward. There was no commitment by this government. This was no commitment to undertake a study or anything like that for the need to put a road into the community of Lutselk'e, a winter road. And, you know, like, it's hard for me to sit here to go through this budget again. And, really, you know, when I advocate for projects in our communities in the last year and a half but it goes onto deaf ears. And I know that the Assembly had -- in 2019 to 2023, had a four-year mandate, and no matter what I said and to advocate for the community of Fort Resolution as well and Dettah and N'dilo, it seems to go onto deaf ears. And even if I try and put stuff on the moving train that's been going over a four-year period, it bounces off the train. I know the Premier had made commitments about trying to get, you know, my luggage onto the train but it hasn't happened. And, you know, so it's -- yeah, you know, I hear and see what you guys are talking about in terms of this budget. It's really tough. And, you know, I'll -- I'll have to keep thinking about it because last year when we did the budget in March, I didn't support it for those reasons. You know, we -- you know, we need infrastructure in our communities. And, again, I don't see it. But anyway, I just want to make that as a general comment. Thank you, Madam Chair.
