Thank you, Madam Chair. One other issue that is really quite bothersome is the fact that the Department of Finance -- and I know we are on the Executive, but I am getting to where I am going -- lost the Bureau of Statistics to the Executive and I think that's a great move from a government-wide perspective. I think it belongs in the Department of Executive. It never belonged in the Department of Finance. They do a tremendous amount of good work for the Government of the Northwest Territories and I am glad it's where it's at now. The problem I have is, because the Bureau of Statistics was removed from the Department of Finance, all of a sudden we get this macroeconomic policy division in the Department of Finance when it would seem to me if the government is really interested in strengthening strategic planning and socio-economic analysis, it would only do the right thing and allow the Bureau of Statistics, all the Department of Executive, whether it's strategic planning, Bureau of Stats, allow them to do that work.

I have a great deal of difficulty accepting the fact that the Department of Finance was allowed to replace the Bureau of Statistics with this macroeconomic planning division; three PYs. I don't know if it even needs to be three PYs, but if we could get a couple of people, just for starters, why don't we get one or two people and put them in the Department of Executive, put them in the Bureau of Statistics, under the leadership of Mr. Stewart and we can get some good work done there?

I am wondering where the stewardship is going to come from in the Department of Finance. I know the Finance Minister is very capable, but he's not there everyday and he's not directing the charges. If we are going to get any of this work done and it's going to be done effectively, I think we have to try to take those positions from Finance and maybe put one or two of them, for starters, where they belong and that's in the Department of Executive. If you want to coordinate the approach and you want to put it together, I think that's the best step you could take. Again, we are piecemealing it by allowing the Department of Finance come back to us asking for three PYs for a macro socio-economic policy. It just doesn't make sense to me. I would like to maybe get the Premier's take on that coordination and how it could best be dealt with. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
