Thank you, Madam Chair. I am happy to advise that that's something that we are actively looking at right now, what are the options for the potential establishment of that role, but we are also mindful that we live in a unique jurisdiction as well. We don't want to just adopt the same practices that everybody else is doing. We are also aware that, as was mentioned previously, the landscape is changing as far as who might be delivering these programs and services, and maybe there's an opportunity to come up with a made-in-the-NWT approach to improving accountabilities for the delivery of programs and services related to children. Maybe that means something different in our context, something that would provide a different type of accountability directly to Indigenous governments, that might not be the same type of model that is used in other jurisdictions. It's very early days in that work now. We are just doing the jurisdictional scans and looking at the potential for other approaches. Some of it might be innovative solutions for our circumstances here in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Madam Chair.
