Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, there was discussion at an operational level with the chair of Arctic Energy Alliance. And, Madam Chair, I know this wasn't part of the question per se, but let me just walk back a little bit in saying that there's -- you know, we don't want to do things in bits and pieces. As a government, we want to be strategic, but being strategic does include things like even putting in the single EV charger that has to run on diesel for now, it still has a value. So I do see that. I don't want to -- I wouldn't want people to think that it's hopeless to go and replace their own wood stove, to have more, you know, energy efficient appliances and, in fact, find it very frustrating that the federal government wouldn't necessarily share that view. So I certainly don't want to leave with that notion. And Arctic Energy Alliance does do a lot of very good work. But, yes, there was an understanding that there was some surpluses, so there's areas of surplus, and that was really what was the primary focus of any reductions in this area. I do agree that that is an opportunity with the energy strategy coming out next year renewed to see both small scale, medium, and large scale what are we going to do in this space. Thank you.
