Thank you, Madam Chair. Perhaps, that just indicates that we need to properly name these positions for what they actually do. Nobody in the North really does only one thing. There are many Jacks-of-all-trades or Jills-of-all-trades in the North, so these people actually do things that are beyond the oil and gas sector. I would like to say that "nothing going on" is a mischaracterization, and I believe those people believe their work is important, so I do want to say that they're working hard in our oil and gas sector. As mentioned to the other Member, perhaps I need to come back to the committee with a better briefing on what the oil and gas work is that's going on in the Beaufort Delta. Those people also have supported the regional mineral development strategies that we unfolded at our roundup there, so they do do work that's beyond oil and gas. We also have tenured oil and gas rights that are still ongoing and need to be managed in those regions. As we mentioned before, we'll come back to the committee with a better explanation of what our oil and gas sector is doing, but I would not characterize it as "nothing." Thank you, Madam Chair.
