Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, again, when the issue of being prepared as a government, the submissions that came forward from the departments were looked at, and we'd sent them back to the departments and asked them to be more coordinated in how they would do that. With that work it was still felt that this area is required within the Finance section, and that is being the NWT Bureau of Statistics. This level of resource person would be required in developing the models that would be required for us as a government. So there may be similar positions within another department, but we feel that even with those that from within a section here this is needed to ensure that we are prepared to just get prepared as a government overall. So I am not aware of the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development if they have a particular skill set that is comparable to this or not, I don't believe so. With what we have done is request departments to come forward in a coordinated fashion, and this was done, so and that is why we see this one as it is. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
