While I can appreciate my honourable colleague's concerns and as I said we have been in intense discussions - for example, I had four meetings with the NWT Construction Association, its management team, its elected president and companies - we have had significant discussions with the NWT Chamber of Commerce. Coles has brought to the table a Canada-wide perspective on public/private partnerships. I think there is adequate information out there. If my honourable colleague just gives me the time to bring forward the policies and regulations which I think will assure him that the concerns he has, I frankly, at this time would suggest that there may be no requirement for a task force. He has to give me the chance and the opportunity to answer some of the legitimate concerns that he has. Thank you.
