I guess what we're trying to do is alleviate some of the fears of the Members and that is that there is no particular group that is going to focus on the area of science and technology. The Member for Deh Cho raised that point. We didn't want the Members to be placed in a position where we were losing focus. If that happened later on, where there was a choice to get out of it, then it would be a matter of changing the legislation only at the approval of the Assembly. So we're moving, but we're moving cautiously. At the same time, we're trying to move the institution so it is headed in the direction of dealing with science and technology issues.
