Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I think what we've established today, by going all around the room, is that the need exists everywhere. This is not a channel that is shared only with Northwest Territories communities; it's also a challenge that's shared clear across the country. And so that's what this group is coming together to do -- with engagement, is to figure out, okay, how are we going to do this -- how are we going to see these dollars flow out the door. And the reality is as well not everybody is going to have shovel-ready projects available right away. So there is going to have to be for some entities some planning phases as part of this and definitely some stacking of funding. But the opportunity to work with Indigenous governments is really a beautiful opportunity. And this, I know, that even in the Member's region in the community of Behchoko, the Tlicho government put together a daycare facility that I know that the Member raves about and I've had the opportunity to speak with her about that offers complimentary child care services to community members. And so those kinds of relationships are really important. Thank you.
