Thank you, Mr. Chair. At this time right now, what we have in the budget for -- and in our business plan is to have these two programs, one in Yellowknife and one in Inuvik, as it is a partnership with an NGO and health, infrastructure, and housing. And so right now where we're at is getting these two up and running and hopefully to have that -- and, you know, and, I mean, if there's a way to be able to work with Indigenous governments and with other partners, if there's federal dollars that we can access that we could try to bring more of those facilities in the territory, you know, I fully support that type of work but right now where we are financially is this is where we can -- you know, what we can do right now. And like I said, any time I talk with Indigenous governments if there's -- you know, if there's a way that we can tap into some of these federal budgets that the announcements with mental health wellness and addictions and different pots of money that they have, if there's ways that we can work with communities to partner, you know, we're always looking for different ways to try and provide different services but right now what we have on the books is just for these two facilities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
