I'd like to thank the Member for his comments. They're very much in line with my own thoughts. I think as a government we need to approach this in a coordinated manner. I'm not sure exactly what that mechanism will look like internally and that's the discussion that I'm looking forward to having with committee Members. I think a good start is the advisory joint committee set up with Regular Members and Cabinet Ministers, but clearly we have to pay a lot of attention to this. It is one of our highest priorities and we do need a coordinated and concerted effort on behalf of this government. I think there is good work going on in pockets and various different areas. It is now our challenge to bring that together. Thank you.
