Thank you. And, yes, it is -- it's great if you're a Franco-Ténois, you absolutely can access one-stop shop. There's some issues there as well, but it does exist. So there's funding out there, clearly, because that's how a lot of the Francophone services we do provide are through federal government funding specifically for Francophones and, of course, the funding for other language minorities is much more limited because they're not official languages of Canada. But I wonder if there -- Indigenous Services Canada has client officers and things like that, so there's a lot of client facing public agencies in Canada that are operating to some degree in the Northwest Territories. Is it possible to do more than co-locate some of these services and actually find -- enter into like an MOU with Service Canada or with Indigenous Services Canada to get money from them, match it with our own money and build our own -- and expedite this process. Because I think the easier -- the -- if we can eliminate as many barriers as possible to Northerners accessing government services, we're going to -- it's going to improve everything, and it's going to be a big cost saver to the government as well because you won't -- you'll eliminate duplication and get service delivery working better and more cost effective. So have we explored that building on a relationship with Service Canada to have either them provide territorial services or for us to provide a hybrid model of federal and territorial services? Thank you.
