Thank you, Jessie. I really appreciate what you said earlier about accessing services and the challenges that more rural and remote communities face.

I guess the other part of the question is this: What are the specific barriers for the rural and remote communities across Canada that you've worked with? Are they just about accessing services? Are they about sending people away and having a hard time getting them to return home and to do the work? What are those challenges, specifically, for those more rural communities?
