Mr. Chairman, I have taken it as far as I would like to go right now without consulting or getting the feedback from the hospital and health boards. I think it is a reasonable document. They may suggest that, ultimately, we have to get some further expertise. I am certainly expecting some constructive criticism from the industry when the standards are placed before them. My nervousness about bringing in some southern expert who has done this before is that we will get an imprint upon ourselves of some other jurisdiction, whereas, I think in the Northwest Territories, there is already much knowledge within this government with regard to aircraft. There is certainly enough expertise around in the industry so that, as we get into late summer, and the industry sees what we have placed before it, if there are concerns or technical considerations, then, at that time, Mr. Chairman, I will consider bringing in a technician to straighten the thing around. I don't think there is a need for it at the present time, though. Thank you.
