The reason I say sound is because if I understand it correctly, although I'm not a lawyer, but you're not allowed to record unsuspecting peoples' conversations, etcetera. So that's why I'm saying without the sound piece, just to be so I go back to the question, is the Minister aware of any video cameras providing security on any NWT assets? Thank you.

Actually, you know, it's fine. I'm comfortable with taking the context of fiction away.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm curious if the Minister can answer the question with respect to how does a community or region access this opportunity to create a Guardian program?
