Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know we are always learning from the past, and this government is definitely growing from the past with each new appropriation that comes through. I am just wondering if the Department of Finance has looked at the stats to date with regard to some major resource developments that have been ongoing and are still ongoing in the NWT today. Obviously there are significant changes in their spending with new developments as they come and go. Have these or any other programs been developed with the Department of Finance and the experts, the guys who handle the money and balance the books, and know that the impacts of resource development, does include more spending and more hiring just to move forward. I wonder how a statistician is going to somehow coordinate all the government departments into developing better program models, which we already have in place today.
