Thank you very much, Madam Chair. With respect to strategic initiatives, the Mackenzie Valley pipeline office, if I can again get the Minister to give me an update on the staffing because some of the things that concern me are that I got a phone call, someone applied for this actual Mackenzie Valley pipeline office and this person was aboriginal in the oil industry for something like seven or eight years, had a phone interview and then consequently wasn't even considered for one of these positions. I'm not too sure of the inner workings of what they were looking for, but my gut feeling tells me there, Madam Chair, that here we've got someone that has experience in this field and the Minister continues to tell us that he's having problems staffing this office. So why are his bureaucrats having problems staffing this office when there are skill sets that are out there and that are willing to do this job and why aren't they being considered seriously? Are they looking for somebody in particular or someone particular instead of a particular skill set? I'm wondering how the Minister's office is looking at staffing these jobs, Madam Chair. It concerns me and in fact it has been taking a long while to staff this pipeline office. Perhaps I can get the Minister to comment on that. Thank you.
