Thanks, Mr. Chair. I respect my colleague as chair, of course. I guess what this motion is trying to do is suggest or ensure that there is some coordination of reporting around state of the environment that is already taking place under part 6 of the Mackenzie Valley Resources Management Act, and that is generally facilitated by the Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program staff who actually work within ENR these days. There are going to be reporting requirements, as I just outlined in speaking to the last recommendation, under this bill every five years. There is also to be some annual reporting that may happen under Bill 39, Environmental Rights Act, so the suggestion here is that, when that reporting is done, it's good that that is coordinated in some way to avoid overlap and duplication. I think it's a good recommendation and look forward to the response from our Cabinet colleagues. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
