Thank you, Minister, for appearing before the committee.

I want to start by asking about the ICFI and the $115 million that you mentioned in your presentation.

I want to note, as well, that Gloria Uluqsi is the new president of NTI. I send my congratulations to her.

In one of her first publications to Nunavummiut, she has called on the federal government to make ICFI permanent. I'm wondering if you've heard from NTI about whether you'll accept that recommendation to make ICFI permanent.
