Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this is going to take me into the income assistance section. So it is absolutely one of our deliverables under or business plan to work collaboratively with the primary's department, and that would take us into working with departments as well, like housing with Minister Kuptana. Within -- and one of the things we talked about quite a bit today was the ability of the new income assistance program to free up some time of the client navigators within the income assistance division so that as they are working with some of our most vulnerable residents, they are able to point to different services and programs that might be available. They're able to form relationships with staff over at housing, for example, and frontline staff over there so that there is a tighter connection between those programs. They are able to work with community partners and form relationships there and find out how they can create these pathways out of poverty together and/or pathways to supports that residents are looking for. So whether that is supports to education, entrepreneurship, or employment, that those pathways are created and are supported for residents of the Northwest Territories. So I would say that is the strongest way that we are working on the beginning steps of integrated service delivery over at education.
