Thank you, Madam Chair. That was a huge issue. I don't think it was only in the last Assembly. I think it's been in every Assembly. I think that, the Government of the Northwest Territories, we're great at a lot of things, Madam Chair. One of the things we're not so good at is our communications to the public. We do find that often we're more reactive than proactive. We find that often, sometimes, our communications are at a high technical level, that often people don't relate to. We have been looking at it right across the board. I have met with my Cabinet communications person. We have been trying to work with departments and be proactive in what we do. We are just at the beginning. It's a new Assembly. We are looking at a new way of communicating. Madam Chair, we will make mistakes. We cannot be proactive on everything. There will be some things that we will be reactive to, but we are, right across the board, every single department is trying to be more proactive, getting out not only the good word, but also, if there are things that are sometimes not so good, we need to also get those out in the news, as well, to provide our side of the story. Otherwise, we pay the price for it. It is something that we are totally engaged in at this time. Again, we will make some flaws. Thank you, Madam Chair.
