Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There was nothing in there for Public Works, but I would like to make a general comment on Public Works, and it has to do with project officers all being stationed in Yellowknife. Whenever there is a major capital project going in to the communities, the project officers are assigned from Yellowknife to run the operations. Since this practice has been going on, there have been a lot of problems because the project officers live in Yellowknife and when they go into the smaller communities they do not know the community sometimes; they do not know the resources and the businesses and the types of people that are in the communities. This causes a lot of unnecessary problems, and I was wondering if the Minister responsible for this department could tell me if there is going to be any change to that practice, please. Thank you.
