Mr. Chairman, I thought I heard the Minister say, fits into the research agenda, but this new science agenda that the Government of the Northwest Territories has come up with, just so I am clear, this does fit in with that and this is a new way of doing business for the Government of the Northwest Territories so that we don’t just lose the information to universities in southern Canada and it can be kept in the Northwest Territories for our own use. Thank you.
