Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the area of the Bureau of Statistics right now is not a huge area within the Department of Finance. It is a small shop and when we go to do surveys we hire casual staff to do the necessary legwork when it goes out to communities. It is felt that within the department it is required that we hire somebody with the proper qualifications so that we can do this, and commit ourselves to a longer period of work, not just short-term so that we can be prepared as a government. When we look at the impacts and cumulative effects on our government, we need to be able to plan properly, and this is one of the areas without the coordination of other departments we'll continue to squeeze things, and it will take longer. That is what we are doing right now, and it is going to take longer to develop and have models prepared so that departments can use that information as they build their plan. So it was felt that this is a necessary piece to ensure that we can get the minimums done, and get the critical areas underway so that as a government we can be better prepared for what is potentially coming down the valley. Thank you.
