Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, this whole area of the macroeconomic policy unit that we want to put in place, work has been done, as I stated earlier, but a lot of it has been one off or contracting organizations to help us with that work and proceed down that path. As I stated earlier, since 1999, we've seen a growth in this area of almost 90 percent in the economy of the Northwest Territories. So I can't give you today a skeleton of a plan. What I can give you is the work that was done on different events that were coming up that allows us to focus as a government on those initiatives of what the environment would be or what it might be. So we've got those pieces. What we are saying is we can't continue to go on on that basis of going to get a piece over here, a piece over there. We need to have a solid macroeconomic policy in place that we can better coordinate the work that's ongoing. Thank you.
