Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, yes, it is being pursued. However, the circumstance that we found ourselves in, as the weather was starting to turn and as the location where some individuals were had been using as an encampment had another purpose assigned to it, namely, for public housing, a situation -- or a solution had to be found more quickly. So, again, another shout-out, really, to the non-profit sector for working very closely with the GNWT. A very lengthy and thorough review was done of every possible location in the city from hotels to available units and that's where these solutions were put forward. The encampment funds could get us up to about million dollars. That's certainly our hope. So, you know, it may well be that because of this creative and, you know -- again, creative solution and a solution that was really in partnership, hopefully then the federal government looks positively on that kind of circumstance and will, indeed, put forward the $1 million. For the moment, Mr. Chair, this a must to move forward given the change in weather here. Thank you.
