Thank you. Yeah, no, I know many of these programs that I know that our constituents use these funds for culture and language. So it is important for them. That's how we maintain and try to keep our culture and language, you know, going. Because just like my colleague from Mackenzie Delta said, you know, it's -- it does have an impact, you know, now that younger generation are not speaking the language more. So it is important that it -- it would have been nice if there was -- if the budget was a little bit more than as it is here, especially for Indigenous language, knowing that there's more Indigenous people in the Northwest Territories. Half of the population -- over half of the population is Indigenous so it's just that in the future, I would like to see more money allocated towards Indigenous language and culture. So it's more of a comment. So thank you.
