Thank you, Madam Chair. Well, the intent is to fast track this, get it on the ground as quickly as we can, as we want to get people to work. That is what this whole initiative is all about. The schedule, if you want, or the time lines certainly is that we would implement the Northern Employment Strategy by June 1st, so that is Monday. Mr. Kakfwi, I was speaking to earlier, believes that we are up and ready to go on that. I have no doubt there will be some minor glitches in the next week or so, but certainly the intent is to fast track it, and I think that everybody is up and ready to go. The reality is, all we are doing to some extent with the majority of the money is expanding existing programs, so there really should be no excuse for any delay. We will have to get a bit of a marketing strategy or a press release out there to as many people as we can, but implementation is by June 1st, which is Monday.
