Thank you. We do not have a formal plan. We recognize there is a facility in the community, that the community is taking a hit with the reduction, and we wanted to ensure that we were proactive in raising the possibility of this facility being repurposed. The leadership in the community has been receptive, and I would say that leadership in every single region in the territory has been more than receptive about wanting wellness centres. We've had those requests across the territory. And if that's not what the community wants, then we can work on something else that the community might want. There is -- you know, we've had treatment centres in the Northwest Territories. They come and they go. As a government, we are not getting back into the business of operating treatment centres. But there are opportunities for wellness centres, for aftercare centres, for on-the-land healing. And there is a desire to work with communities to bring those into fruition, and that's what our plan is. Thank you.
