Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, just following up on the statement regarding the Auditor General for Canada. The Auditor General for Canada's report has been sent to the department. When I opened my statement earlier, I had said that we are under a bit of a quandary because we have not seen the report yet, and if the Auditor General has actually picked up specific areas of the Department of MACA. The Auditor General's report has gone to the Department for MACA and, as per course in any audit, the Department for MACA or any other business that was getting audited gets a chance to look at the audit, and then responds in a management letter with any discrepancies that they see in the audit they would like to bring forward. In that case, the department has seen it, and I understood the delay as it were, was that MACA had not responded or was in the process of responding to some of those concerns. What I am saying is public because, of course, it came up during the Auditor General for Canada's review of the GNWT in November, when we had public meetings, it had come up at that point too. I want to clarify that and maybe the deputy minister could tell us when she suspects that the department will be going back to the Auditor General with your final management response on the report, and then when the department does that it comes back to the House. I think that is the process. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
