Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are always going to the federal government. The Department of Justice hustles to find agreements, to find pots of money that they can access. And so I wouldn't say we're going back to them, but there is a constant dialogue and there's always -- not always new agreements but there are a number of agreements. And we do give our two cents to the feds about what we would like to see and what direction we would like to see their agreements go in if it's not one that works for the territory. And as always, I -- when I speak to the federal Ministers, I say we need ensure that no matter what we're doing, it needs to -- the feds need to consider the Northwest Territories and our unique context relative to the southern provinces when they're designing programs and allocating funding for programs as well because the per capita allocations don't work for us. Thank you.
