Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd have to go back and look at my earlier response, but in terms of people that have some aspect of their job related to the Mackenzie Valley pipeline or the Mackenzie gas project, I would think there are at least 20 people. We know we have regional petroleum advisors, one in Inuvik. We have other positions in RWED related to environment or business development that support a pipeline and support resource development. We know we have positions in MACA that work to develop community capacity. They are also being dispatched to help our effort to work on this file. Education has resources, I believe. I know that Housing is working on this file. So you could look at many of the people we have employed in our government and find aspects of their job where there are duties that are currently related to meeting our development pressures. That would go much higher than 20; the dedicated resources I've spoken to in terms of pipeline. The obvious seven positions that we have yet to fill in Hay River would be another contingent of staff that we have. So they are spread out throughout government and I'm certainly prepared to get those specific numbers for the Member and we have started that task and will be providing that information shortly. Thank you.
