Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't have a list that is community specific. But just to give an idea of some of the things that the funds are going toward, there are -- there's everything from research project to infrastructure investment, local markets, community-based growing initiatives, community garden wages, business plans, community planning processes, educational initiatives, school gardens, and even training events. So it's a real broad range of where people are investing in this market and this area. There's a ton of potential across the territory, especially in the Deh Cho region. And so there's real great opportunity. Even here based in Yellowknife, there is the agrifoods association who is also doing a lot of outreach and a lot of support to people from different regions to see how they can come together and really support one another, and this past year had their first conference here in town which was very well attended. This was even people from Europe that came over and presented that are growing another circumpolar regions. You know, even over in Alaska people came over here to talk about how they're doing it and what they're doing and even people from the Yukon. So there's a lot of opportunity and a lot of interest in food sustainability here in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
