Thank you. And I acknowledge that, and it is a decision that was made unilaterally and has earned the ire of many provincial governments and territorial governments. But, you know, one of the problems we have is that we have -- we only have just hit our quota whereas the Yukon has been hitting -- has made good use of that quota over time, and before they -- they're cut down to 400, but they were operating at 800. So the Maritimes have a different system where they pool their allocation. I think it's around 5,000 applications that's split between all the provinces. Is there a -- so there's different models, I guess, is what I'm getting at and ways to advance this issue together. I fear that if we just stay in our kind of box and just play with the numbers we have, we're not really going to change anything even if there's a more willing partner in Ottawa. So is the Minister prepared to work with Yukon and Nunavut to -- or with internal resources, but just we need something new, we need a new take on this, and to continue putting that pressure on the federal government to give us those quotas back. But can we pool our strength with the other northern territories in particular and get a deal like they have in the Maritimes or the Atlantic provinces? Thank you.
