Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the intent is not to find a home, however temporary, for the social agenda. In fact, the social agenda has a home right now. That's with the GNWT being the government that's driving this particular initiative at this point. What we would like is a clear sense of direction and level of commitment from both the federal and aboriginal governments to allow us to plan how we are going to move ahead. If this is going to be a one-government initiative, then it's going to be a whole different focus and kettle of fish than if the three governments come to the table in one way or another and start addressing some of the recommendations that were in the social agenda. Thank you.
