Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I can say that when we went through challenging times right around Christmas time and New Year's time, and we certainly were involved in terms of how to come at that moment when it was already of concern to do inventory of what was in each community. So I expect that we don't want to be in that position again. We'll be making sure that this time around, having come to the point where we know what our resupply was over the winter road season, that we can then monitor that over the course of time. Norman Wells, of course, does rely on Imperial Oil as being their provider, so. But, again, we all went through the challenges of this winter together, including Imperial Oil. So when we reach out to them and say, you know, we need to know your plans and your situation, I am, you know, hopeful that they have taken that to heart and that they will be doing the same in terms of understanding what their inventory's at and what their resupply plans are. But, again, as far as the communities that the fuel services division is responsible for, which are all of the nonmarket communities, we are going to -- we already had looked. We already have made sure that they were at a point that they will either be resupplied for up to the point of 2025 levels, and we'll be making sure to monitor that we not be surprised by anything between now and then and that we get through to that winter 2025 season or, again, for the communities that are getting from over the top, that they get that in due course and as expected and as scheduled. Thank you.
