Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, in this area, my question is in line with just ensuring that we have adequate resources on the ground to ensure the environmental side of the equation is being monitored and protected. Not to say that we need to go out and find a whole bunch of new regulations or establish new policies that would make things even more convoluted. One of the concerns is that there are many bodies out there doing their own work in different areas. Sometimes it is a matter of working together and having some, if it is, people on staff to ensure that the reporting and the contact is happening on a very regular basis and to ensure that those contacts are being utilized, that is one thing. If we find ourselves short-staffed in other regulatory bodies out there and squeeze by all the activity that is happening in the Northwest Territories now, that puts other issues on the back burner and it takes time to get the processes moving. I think that is one area as well that we need to keep apprised of. Thank you.
