Thank you, Mr. Chair. And in addition to what the Minister said, there are still some partnership projects in the works. We do have, for example, in the Beaufort riding a joint plan to do an elders' unit where some of the units will be administered through potentially HELP programming, and some will be public housing. That's a conversation that's still underway but we're active in it. We understand that one of the Indigenous governments is hiring two housing staff to work more closely with us because they've been understaffed the last couple years in the housing area, so we'll be able to have a team to work with. We have a new collaborative agreement with the other Indigenous government in your area that we're quite excited about working with. And we're taking all sorts of tacts. We're looking at any land that we may not need that we can make available to the Indigenous government. We'll work with Environment and Climate Change and Municipal and Community Affairs to work on the land needs in addition to what we may be able to support, you know, looking at supporting the development of housing plans. So although it may not be out in the public as much as it has been previously, there is still a lot of work ongoing. And whether it's through formal partnership agreements or just ongoing working group conversations, the activity is still ongoing and work with each other. I think the distinctions-based funding has just given them other work to do. So, you know, some of these partnership projects are not as high on the radar and the public view as they maybe were before. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
