Thank you, Mr. Chair. It seems, you know, from past experiences there, we -- where there's a lost opportunity, another one's created. So we have an emerging willingness for rehabilitation. So there's going to be staff opportunities for the emerging counselling for drugs, as we discussed here the last number of days, more specifically yesterday, on the increased activity of the drug trade. So to minimize that demand through counsellors and those types of positions would the 30 position PY, in this case, you got 17 -- 15 and 17 PYs here. Is there some -- I don't know, maybe some of the staff members are approaching retirement so maybe we can retain those PYs for the emerging drug rehabilitation that I'm hoping some -- I'm hoping, let's say the Sahtu for example, if we have on-the-land treatment centres similar to the other treatment centres or the other campsites there in -- out on-the-land campsites there in Inuvik, if we have those types of trade staffs or professions within this department to help support other regions on drug rehabilitation and counselling. Thank you.
