Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. It does seem like this is a common theme of switching, where possible, in-person programs and opportunities to online and, you know, there's a bigger debate to be had there. I know that we do need to save on travel costs, which are getting increasingly expensive, but that some things, they're -- it's hard to replace the value of face-to-face interactions, especially when people are just meeting each other for the first time.

So thanks for that information, though. I wanted to ask about the northern distance learning under grants and contributions. It looks like this has been implemented in partnership with the Beaufort Delta Division Educational Council. And I know the money being offered is the same as last year but it looks like there was a significant cut from the year before, from 2023-2024. Can the Minister explain whether -- like, what happened between 2023-2024 to lead to that reduction and why that's sort of being maintained. Was something exceptional happening in 2023 that required the increase in funding, or are we just doing the program at a lower scale now indefinitely? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
