Thanks, Madam Chair. Yes, I really look forward to that briefing and the information coming forward. I guess I've sat here really patiently for four years, now. In the last mandate, there was a commitment to develop a comprehensive approach framework to prevent public liabilities coming to this government and, guess what, it has already happened. I predicted it, and it has happened. Our government has not developed any policy in this area. The only legislative thing that I'm aware of is rolling back the requirement for mandatory financial security. We tried to get that into the Public Land Act. The Minister refused. I don't know where we're going with this stuff as a government. We cannot demonstrate to even our own citizens or taxpayers that we can responsibly manage resources, so how are you going to convince the federal government to give us more delegated authority under the NVRMA, or give us control over the NVRMA? I want a plan, and I want it now, and our taxpayers deserve a plan. When is the Minister going to start to sort this out and protect the taxpayers and the environment of the Northwest Territories? Thanks, Madam Chair.
