Thank you. I think the Member has certainly hit on a point that I think many, many agree with, and that is that as a government we're challenged and we don't have adequate resources to deal with the scale, at this point, of oil and gas development now and certainly not going forward, and that's something that we have to come to grips with. I've asked my department to go back and come to me with several options for more adequately resourcing the department in terms of positions up and down the valley. I think the Inuvik area is obvious, but so are positions required, I believe, or an approach required in Norman Wells and in Simpson, certainly from those regions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
