Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The overall strategic planning for the department is really a function of the whole senior management team. In other words, directors of all of the line divisions and the superintendents who deliver the program, would all be involved in developing and integrating strategic planning for the wide range of areas the department covers, the business planning process and ongoing planning we do as a department. Distinct from that, we have in the corporate services the policy and legislation group who takes the lead in separating policy and legislative proposals through, but they come from line divisions, from superintendents, etc. I think the same thing applies to the strategic planning unit. It was set up to focus the attention of a small group on long term economic planning. It includes resource use and small business developments. The integration is there in terms of program delivery. It is happening within the resource management economical development activity. It is happening at a regional level. But we did feel we needed a unit to bring the thinking of the various mine divisions in the various regions to focus into the development of the economic framework. Thank you.
