The independent review, that was the critical part of the ask. The second one that I would like to put forward, and for me this is an absolute, this is not a negotiable aspect, I would need to know to what extent, not if, but to what extent this project, this initiative, will result in a permanent northern manufacturing increment that will be part of the legacy of this project. Mr. Chairman, for something the size and the significance of this, to us to even begin to think that we should entertain this while all of the labour, all of the manufacturing, all of the material, supplies are going to be vested in a Calgary factory is unacceptable. There must be some northern manufacturing component to this. The other aspect that I think that we need to consider is that housing is ever present, it's ongoing and if this Novel project and the concept and the economies are such a good idea, then why don't we create something that is going to be sustainable on the ground here in the Northwest Territories and our sister community to the south in Hay River I would even go so far as to say that is the natural place for it.
