Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, there was a number of recommendations, and we implemented all of them. They ranged from including advanced exploration projects, an earlier version of MIP only was exploration. So that eligibility was included. Secondly, we created a transparent scoring rubric for all proponents so they can see what we're looking for, and then we will tell them how they scored in each of those categories afterwards so they can improve for the next year. And then lastly, flexibility for multi-year funding. Programs need to know that they can have funding from year to year, and so we at ITI have a multi-year contribution policy. And, you know, because the middle of the winter field season falls right at year end, and so do you stop March 31st? You know, and so although we need our budgets, they wanted that flexibility. So those were the changes that we made, and there's a lot of good context in the program evaluation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
