Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Member brings out a good point. This is something that we feel is very important and something we need to be doing a better job in this regard. I don’t think we have one cultural awareness program or one size fits all for the government, but I know that different departments probably do different things. Right now, our focus has been to try to make sure that every new employee of the government gets provided with an orientation. I think we are starting to look at what different governments or different regions are doing with regard to cultural awareness and this is something that we are going to have to put more importance on and try to develop something that we can use much more broadly. Thank you.
