Mr. Chairman, they are all located in ITI. When you see that budget of $3.2 million, that's ITI's share.

Mr. Chairman, we are working with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to come forward very shortly with a White Paper that's going to discuss energy policy issues. That will engage the public more broadly in this discussion of these issues, but we do have an energy policy unit. At this point, I believe we've hired one person. It's going to be a three-person office. I would also note that we have this energy coordinating committee of deputy ministers that meets to discuss energy issues that cross the various different departments of this government. Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chairman. The Minister has outlined some of the initiatives under his direction with regard to energy. I was wondering is this department one of the core members of the Arctic Energy Alliance, Mr. Chairman?
