Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, Finance is one of those departments that deals behind the scenes with all departments. With the Bureau of Stats being within the Department of Finance, the resources there are for the use of all departments, not one department to go do one specific area, but for work with all departments. So it's felt that this is the necessary location to put it in, so we can use the shop to look at the impacts of the development coming down the valley, as well as the other impacts that are now happening in the Northwest Territories and the other mines that would be coming online here. So Finance is one of those areas that deals with all departments and that's why it is felt that this area is required within this shop. That's why we see it in this area. Thank you.
