Thank you, Madam Speaker. Approval was, I believe, given in December. The policy has been in place approximately a month and a half. From what I understand, at least initially, that certainly at the superintendent level there is a roar of approval because it means that they don't have to come into the centre and seek approval from the civil servants who are sitting in Yellowknife. I think it's a little early, at this time, to determine whether this initiative that we've taken will, in fact, speed up and make spending more sensitive to community and regional needs. I'm optimistic that it's certainly a step in the right direction. We are reviewing the policy on a quarterly basis in discussions with the superintendents. Thank you.
