Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, this was the first increase to the cost of our park fees, our park stays for the first time in 15 years. It works out to about 40 cents a year for the campsite per night, or a $5 increase. And while we want as many people, for sure, to enjoy our parks as possible, we've tried to ensure that we're keeping up with kind of industry standards as well as still ensuring that we are making that sector a viable sector for people who operate private campgrounds as well in the territory. And I can confirm for the Member as well that we're not -- we're kind of right in the middle of park fees across the country. So we weren't striving to be at the top end of that or anything. We wanted to make sure that it was a reasonable increase to keep up with the costs. But I can also confirm too that we still heavily subsidize park costs across the territory. So it is not a revenue neutral enterprise at all. Thank you.
