Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Well, Mr. Chair, I can definitely say that the staff that work on trade within ITI have had an incredibly busy year. We currently sit -- the Northwest Territories is currently the chair on the committee of internal trade, and we've already had three meetings this year at a federal, territorial, provincial level, which I know is a lot of time for staff but I will say huge props to those staff. They are absolute rock stars. They have supported me every step of the way. They have done incredible work not only on behalf of the Northwest Territories but on behalf of Canadians.
We do have experience and expertise within that field. One of the staff that I have had the opportunity to work very closely on that has worked within the file for a decade, and she's incredible. She is incredibly good at her job.
We also work quite closely with Department of Justice and have the honour and privilege of having one of the lawyers who actually negotiated the Canadian Free Trade Agreement on behalf of the Northwest Territories who supports our team. And I do feel that that team is, although very busy, very well supported and they, I'm sure, will continue to be rock stars on support -- or in support of the people of the territory for this very difficult time for Canadians but also they are rising to the challenge. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
