Thank you, Madam Chair. I think, as a lifelong learner and coming into this department, one of the opportunities that we have is to be able to look at all of the different facets of the department and where we can do a better job. I think something where we can point to where we actually learned from something was recently when we did the Rae Access Road. In that situation, again the criteria to go through and select which home community was selected was based on what the department had been doing for a number of years, and so, when it was brought to the attention within my staff, what we did was we now have revisited all those internal procedures. We have put a directive to all of our contract administrators that review all of the outgoing tenders now to confirm the appropriate BIP local communities that have been selected in the system. I think it shows that you can learn, and the opportunity that we have within infrastructure is we have a lot of projects, there is a lot of activity, and a lot of benefit for the North. We want to make sure that continues, and, by learning some things like that, we are able now to effectuate that change. It was unfortunate that it happened, but we were able to correct it very quickly, and now it has changed the procedure within the department. Thank you, Madam Chair.
