I thank the Member for those comments. I think the Member is right; it's primarily a conservation organization that does advise not only outside stakeholders, but certainly our government. I know they have been enlisted in the past to help organizations like the Housing Corporation reduce their reliance on energy and other things. Certainly, I think we've had a good kick-off to a discussion that we're going to have at committee here about the mandate of these various organizations. There certainly is a need to have these things clear and you're right, no organization should be without or beyond scrutiny. I think we have to look at the mandate of all our delivery mechanisms, and this certainly is a good place to start because we've had a lot of discussion about this in the past. I look forward to that very fruitful exercise. Thank you.
