Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes. I think the Minister has a good understanding of what traditional knowledge is. I appreciate what he is saying with his comments. There is a great body of knowledge amongst the aboriginal community, as he said, some is measurable, some is not measurable. From all of that, I kind of gather it is not all together yet. This is an evolving project. Traditional knowledge cannot be completely defined. Obviously there is no one scrutinizing or evaluating this outside of the two individuals. I am wondering who will be looking at this in the future? Who is going to make the decisions of how to apply this within government? Who will make the decisions of extending traditional knowledge throughout government?
