Mr. Chair, I just recently met with the standing committee and I was given direction to work with this with the community and also with the committee, as well, on the gradual phase out. They don't want us, as a department, to close down the facility immediately. They want us to explore our options, what to do with those 14.5 PYs so it doesn't have a huge impact on the community of Inuvik. So those are our main concerns, as well, on how we can deal with those and the facility. We're exploring our options on who or what organizations can take over that facility. So those are areas that we need to explore. So I can't really give an answer of how long it's going to be. It could be a year, but that's the direction I've been given from the standing committee. Mahsi, Mr. Chair.
