Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the only thing I would say left on this one is that, again, I take the job loss serious. I mean, sometimes government has to do things. I recognize that. I mean, I don't support the layoffs personally in the sense of, yeah, this is a good idea. You're not going to hear that from me. But what I would say is that I recognize the government has to do the government of business sometimes, and I would encourage the department and the Minister to use the fulsome opportunity of trying to find ways to bridge these into the other two facilities, be it Hay River or Yellowknife or find some ways. I do know that the Yellowknife facility has challenges, staffing, overtime, etcetera. There may be opportunities -- you folks know your numbers better than I do. So I know them anecdotically, but you know them accurately. And so I'll leave it that with saying that if -- if the Member -- if the Minister needs support to find ways, I'll certainly be supportive of finding ways to get the people to facilities that could use them. And if that specific line item needed to be a supp for transfer or whatnot, I mean, I would easily be supportive of that. Thank you.
