I would like to thank the Members for the opportunity of answering questions. I think it is a really important process. As was said, this is a new experience, both for this legislature, for myself and for all the people in the NWT to have an ombudsman. It has been a difficult two years and I hope in the next while we will be able to resolve some of the issues I have raised in my annual report. There are 30 recommendations there. Some of them I have directed to the Legislative Assembly and I hope that I will be able to get some direction on those. I invite any of the Members to contact me on an individual basis. I have written letters a few times inviting comments from Members. I would be glad at any time to talk to them about any concerns they have about our office. Thank you again for the opportunity of speaking here.
