Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not trying to be confrontational or adversarial. I see this as a concern that is territorial-wide. I appreciate the Minister getting together with his staff. I raised it about two weeks ago in the House and another two weeks is a month. I do not know what the tender contracts are calling, if these buildings are for sale, if they are closing. I agree with the Minister that we should review it. Again, I would like to reiterate to the Minister that I would be interested in any follow-up letters that he sends to make them public, not just to me but to the House, to the people of the Northwest Territories, because the House will not be sitting in two weeks, the next sitting is May. Maybe then our Renewable Resource Department, under the environmental protection area, could put out some type of press release or inform the public between now and May so the people of the Northwest Territories know exactly what is happening on this issue. I have received several phone calls, letters and e-mails since this was in the media two weeks ago when I first brought the issue up. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
