Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There will be formal mechanisms in place for communications between the two agencies. The government service centre will be involved in compliance audits. So even if somebody doesn't report on that in a month if they've had a change, they may find themselves then responsible in the future for making up a subsidy that they shouldn't have received. So there will be a continued level of watching for compliance. There's been really good collaboration between the LHOs and the income security workers to date. Just as we've gone through the process of understanding how we will now have to work with their clients, there have been meetings on a regional basis, there've been meetings where we've brought in workers from across the Territories to work with our staff. So there is already a clear level of communication and we'll work to ensure that continues.
