Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, with the last minute that I've got here, maybe perhaps what I'll do is, you know, I thought the Member for Yellowknife North made an excellent case for Dechinta in her Member's statement the other day, and certainly I met with this organization, and what the -- what the president of that organization highlighted for me is just that any money that went to Dechinta, particularly in additional money, the things that they could do with dedicated funding would be to employ elders, employ educators, but in particular people -- knowledge holders, Indigenous knowledge holders, up and down the Mackenzie Valley. And I think that is exactly the kind of thing, that kind of employment, that many members from our communities speak to. So I think that the payoff for funding Dechinta would be huge, and I think it would be dollar for dollar a very good investment, so I just want to make that case. I should probably do a Member's statement of my own on it. And I'm out of time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
