Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and again, thank you, Mr. Minister. Since I have come onboard four months ago, I have been a strong advocate for the GNWT to proceed in the public services model to open up the accountability process in a sense of non-partisan. Therefore, we can get true representation and a clear representation that we are implementing our public service policies in a fair manner. It has also been pointed out that maybe we are not digging deep into the recognition of the affirmative action policy and it not being represented or accurately being responded to as the desire, or I should say the true representation of the North. My next question is that noting that there have been some policy concerns and possibly some concerns raised, what type of consultation will the department be going into and what type of research will they be expanding into before they bring it to the business plans? Thank you.
