Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That's exactly what I was getting at. I'm happy to hear that the department has already taken some action in that area. You can't be too early with something like safety training and mine safety inspections when it comes to another type of mine, recognizing the fact that it probably takes a good period of time to become proficient in those areas. It is good to hear that the department is already doing something. It is something that, if his Cabinet colleagues agree and something comes forward, we would be quite supportive of, certainly here in Yellowknife. We know how important the industry is to the north and how important the safety of the people who work in it is. We hear all the time how vitally important it is to the workers. I'm pleased to hear that. Thank you.
