Thank you, and I can speak for myself, I am very much looking forward to that work, Mr. Chair, and I appreciate the Minister has made previous statements that he's looking forward to this work with committee as well, but it's just a little troubling when we are looking at the budget for the coming year and there is very little detail on revenue and spending on this issue that we know we have to deal with. So currently the board, or the commission, handles the enforcement of liquor licensing and those sorts of issues around liquor matters. The way forward document for cannabis is silent on who is going to be doing the inspections, and as that legislation is coming forward from the Department of Health and Social Services, there seems to be this disconnect. I am wondering if, with all the cannabis products being housed under the Liquor Commission, if the intention is to bring the inspection side of it under the Liquor Board as well. So are we going to have cannabis inspectors and liquor inspectors, or cannabis/liquor inspectors, or are there going to be occupational health and safety officers? I am just looking for clarity on where the inspection side for our regulations is going to come from. Thank you.
