Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do acknowledge that there has been some good progress made. I would like to specifically turn to the question of planning for Nunavut. I think there is a concern that, while we may have attracted considerable numbers of Dene-Metis into senior management positions, particularly in headquarters, and we have notable successes at the DM, ADM and other senior management levels, for obvious reasons Inuit have not been as successful at the senior management level perhaps because it has been farther away for them to relocate. I am not sure what all the factors would be. I would like to ask Mr. Pollard if the human resource strategy of the FMBS includes planning for the public service needs of Nunavut, particularly, whether we will see more programs like I know are in place in Renewable Resources to earmark positions like deputy minister and establish a training program and a training position as that department is doing with its deputy minister position, as that department is doing, I believe, with some of its superintendent positions. Will there be a strategy with an eye towards Nunavut in this area of the Executive? Thank you.
