Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Employee and Family Assistance Program is under review and a new contract will be let out in approximately a year's time. As I stated, we are reviewing how the existing contract has operated and how we've been able to get service into communities across the North. The majority of communities are serviced by a 1-800 number as the initial point of contact. Where we have been able to get contracts in place with firms that would help in communities, we've been able to do that. But it is a very difficult field to try to find staff in regions or communities that would fulfil this area. It is an area we recognize needs to be improved and, as I stated, we are reviewing that to try to improve that before we go out for a new contract in about a year.
