Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I won't press this any further on this agenda tonight, Mr. Chairman. I have learned something that I certainly intend to carry into committee's business. The GNWT should use every advantage that we can to get good value for the taxpayers' dollar. We have every right to use the competitive marketplace to our advantage and the government, in many ways, is a major supplier and consumer of services. One, for instance, is in the rental market, Mr. Chairman. I believe the Yellowknife Housing Authority has something like 600 units under lease and yet I wonder to what extent do we use our buying power as a large tenant to get good deals. It's in that context that I fully intend to see what our government could do to really press the case and go out there and get a better deal. I don't have any questions, but I have learned something here tonight. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
