Thank you, Madam Chair. I thank the Member for the questions. As I mentioned earlier, we are, and I have to ask the department with looking at resourcing options up and down the valley. Even prior to that, the points that the Member is making are points that we have had a lot of discussion around. In the Nahendeh region, we have been admittedly challenged to fill some of our existing positions. I want to assure the Member and his constituents that we are working very diligently to do that and will ensure that we have those positions that aren't currently filled as quickly as we can. The regional petroleum advisor was a position that has been unfilled for some time.
The Member's point about a senior position in the region that would focus on oil and gas, the Member knows ITI really will have the lead coordinating role now for oil and gas development. I think this was one of the discussions we had. We have a regional petroleum advisor. When we can have that staffed, it will report now to a new position. That new position will be the additional superintendent that we have created; the new superintendent for ITI. That person will play a coordinating role on behalf of our government's responsibilities related to oil and gas development in the region. Reporting to that superintendent will be the RPA, regional petroleum advisor, that we are trying to staff. Having said that, as I have already mentioned, we are looking at other resourcing options up and down the valley because we do recognize the communities are challenged with all of the activity. Thank you.
