Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I am pretty sure I have said a couple of times that we need to really get a definition here in the Northwest Territories. I would like to add that I had the opportunity to attend the federal-provincial-territorial meeting of the Ministers of Social Services last week with Minister Duclos and some of his representatives. He was not able to stay the whole meeting. We were there to talk about the national anti-poverty work that is being done, and one of the discussions is there has to be a definition in order to evaluate whether or not we're making ground or not making ground. Had every province said the same thing that all the NGOs and other governments said in Yellowknife when we tried to come up with one that passes, man, that's hard. Everybody's definition is a little bit different, but we have to do it. We have to find a way. So it'll be interesting to see what the federal government comes up with as a definition of whether or not that's something we might be able to use, but at the time we need to keep trucking forward to see if we can come up with a relevant and meaningful definition here in the Northwest Territories. If you have one, we're open. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
