Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you for the question. I think that some of the challenges, especially in the Northwest Territories and certainly based on location, is having adequate infrastructure based on the resources that are available within that area. So in the Beaufort Delta, for example, the boats that are used to deliver the programming there need to be of a certain size and ability to deliver the programs to ensure that our staff are safe as they're doing that work. And there's not really anything currently on the market that would be able to enhance the goals in the way of not using fossil fuel. So currently, a majority of our large patrol boats are all four cycles which is certainly a move forward in the way of more environmentally friendly than perhaps in the previous years when it used to be a two-ycle engine. These are far more fuel efficient, much more economical, and certainly do provide some benefits to the climate. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
