Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's hard for me to disagree that we shouldn't have been able to move on this more quickly. We have seen this development coming for some time. All I can say is that we are responding now. We are moving very quickly to ensure the office in Hay River is up and running by the end of March. We've had a number of stages here in terms of trying to staff. We went northern first. We didn't get the kind of response we thought we might get, but we are looking for some very specific technical positions. We have broadened the search to include southern Canada. I understand we have had a very good response now and I look forward to being able to staff up the office by April. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
