Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Member for the question. Mr. Speaker, what’s being done right now is that we are following the recommendation of the House, which was passed in April, to re-look at the changes being proposed and to do more consultation work so that we could have input from the public and to answer some of the questions and to give out the necessary information so that people could understand the program better and the changes being proposed. So we are doing that right now. The interdepartmental group has been working to analyze the data, get more data and look at some information. We have also brought together a number of NGO groups that represent all of the interest groups in the Territories. They have begun meeting to give us advice on how we should do this better, and they’ve had their initial meeting and we expect that they will continue to meet and give us guidance. When their work is completed and when our information is ready, I want to confirm again that we will be going out to the public, and the public will have an opportunity to provide their input. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
