Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I appreciate the Member's love for this program; I share it. I think it's definitely ITI's cornerstone -- well, one of their major cornerstone offerings to residents of the Northwest Territories. So the major changes there that we're seeing from one year to the next is the previous year had $1 million in CanNor funding for operational support to businesses affected by the wildfire evacuation, and so that was dollars given to the GNWT that directly went to businesses from there for wildfire relief for businesses that were evacuated. And then in addition to that, Regular Members in the previous Assembly also negotiated SEED funding specific for arts to the tune of $375,000, and that was negotiated as part of budget negotiations for one year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
