Mr. Speaker, we've done a fair bit of work on the transition document. I think a lot of it has been shared with the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight so far. I will take a look at the issue that he's raising and see whether or not that is something we could add on at this point. It's a very complex task if you start to look at the relationship between social conditions, problems, employment, alcohol, drugs and so on. I think there would have to be a lot of background work before we could ever frame up a study. I'm sure in Yellowknife, for example, the biggest centre with the most employment, we have some very serious problems even here. So it doesn't just happen in the small communities. It's a complex one, but I will certainly talk to my staff about it. Thank you.
