Thank you. So -- well, that's -- anyway, that sound very positive. I think the one thing that we've become aware of is that the NWT -- or we need more national coordination on this. We need more things like task team 2 that can do operations in the Northwest Territories persistently and not just when we have an emergency and whenever, you know, federal public safety initiatives around emergency forces and things like that or disaster relief forces. So I think having a facility like this sounds like a good way to anchor the NWT in that process because we have a -- you know, a high quality facility with adequate space and all that, then we can start bringing in those teams, modeling fire suppression exercises, and all the stuff they do. So I think this is a good way to meet the recommendations. We, of course, do not -- of the 2023 after action report, we, of course, don't want a repeat of that. We want to be able to get a handle on this going forward and make sure our citizens are safe. My biggest concern from that report is we would not be investing the required resources in it and oftentimes we hear -- with no offence to this Minister or any Minister but that, you know, we've already done everything, we really don't need to do that much, but thank you very much for your report, third party reviewer. And in this case it does seem like when there's -- when the department says we've actually done a lot of the work, well, we have this list of projects that speak to that. So I applaud the Minister for -- and the department for being proactive in getting this work out and in matching those federal dollars and in satisfying a lot of the recommendations that were made. Thank you.
