Yes, I would say so. I would like to see a continued investment in WES as a strategy. We've been delivering our IWE program over the last three years. We just did an evaluation. One of the findings really just spoke to how we haven't fully realized the impact of our investment yet. For indigenous women, it goes back to the confidence and to the capacity development that's required. We need to make that investment for the long term if we want to see these women be successful in starting and growing and maintaining their businesses. I think we're very early in, and it requires more investment.
