Thank you, Madam Chair. So there are, according to EIA's business plan on page 19 of their business plan, three legislative initiatives currently underway with the IGC technical working groups with two to three more still to be initiated. And my apologies if this isn't the correct section to ask about this, but I think it might be. So I was just curious if the amount of that work is sufficiently resourced and what the timelines are looking like for these technical working groups within the life of this Assembly. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Well, I'm always personally excited for briefings but I can't speak for committee. So fair enough, I suppose.
And further in this area, I'm curious if the Minister could please provide a status update on the Intergovernmental Council Secretariat coordinating with the IGC governments to advance the seven-year review of the 2014 intergovernmental agreement on lands and resource management. Thank you, Madam Chair.
