Mr. Speaker, we think that it certainly can get the work done. We don't think that a permanent presence with an office and a bevy of staff is required. We think that this board will be resourced, obviously by our government. We will work to provide it with information. We think that this is an adequate budget. Should we determine at some point in the future as we're going through the couple of year construction period that it needs some uplift and the government makes a decision in this House that there are additional resources required, there is provision, certainly, Mr. Speaker, for this group to undertake more work and research if it deems that necessary. As a government, we'll be there to support it, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
