Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, we're working closely with Diavik. Diavik has their My Path program where they identify, you know, who the worker is, what their skill set is, and what their intentions post closure are. So some people intend to retire. Some people intend to start their own business. I had the opportunity to sit with a Member from the South Slave -- sorry, with a resident from the South Slave who currently works at Diavik and is in the process of putting their ducks in a row to get their own business started. And some of them intend to stay with Rio Tinto proper and look at new opportunities. But there are some people who are wanting to return to their home community and are not ready for retirement. And so the intent there is to ensure that we don't lose any skilled workers, and if somebody is returning to their home community and is, per se, an electrician or has gained experience as a heavy duty mechanic or whatever their skill set may be, we certainly don't want to lose their skill set or lose them from their home community. And so certainly trying to ensure that we are aligned with Diavik, that if there are people in that situation that we can ensure that we're connecting them with other opportunities in their home community. I know that in conversation with Housing NWT that at times they are missing some of the trades people that they need in order to do maintenance of their units and their infrastructure. So ensuring that we're connecting with people -- connecting people with opportunity is key. Thank you.
