I would say without hesitation that it absolutely does because it reflects the priorities of this government, and the BDIC will be directed to deliver on the priorities of this government. One of those is to have an effective diversified economy. The Member knows how important the traditional economy is to our government and in addition there are other programs to support those activities. Those will not be lost, those will not be diminished, we're not looking to supplant those with this new organization. So I assure the Member that it will reflect the priorities of this government and it will be tasked to ensure that it does. Thank you.
