Great, thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate the Minister's commitment. This follows up on the recommendation from the last Assembly that the review should be done, an independent panel or some other form as has been done in Alberta twice with regard to their oil and gas regime, because the feds never really did this when they had jurisdiction. I think it's timely that this government takes that approach, so I am pleased to hear that the Minister is going to share the approach that she's going to develop with Regular MLAs.
I want to move on. My colleague from Yellowknife North asked about the staff that the department had in place to help with oil and gas development and promotion of it and so on. I'm actually looking at the organizational charters, the phone directory. There are a number of positions that are clearly identified here with regard to oil and gas activities. Look, I've met some of these people. They work very hard. I want these jobs to stay in Yellowknife. Sorry, not in Yellowknife, in Inuvik. Let's be clear on that. There are, I think, seven, eight people in Inuvik. They were hired to promote oil and gas development, but there's nothing happening, nothing, absolutely nothing. What sort of thinking is the department going through in terms of repurposing some of these positions to areas of the economy where there is potential for growth, particularly, say, tourism, with the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway? Maybe not this summer, but there's a lot of promotion work that can and should be done there. What is the plan? Because I just don't see oil and gas ever coming back here, and that's what everybody else predicts, not just my colleague from Yellowknife North. What is the longer term plan for repurposing some of these positions to support the areas of the economy where there is potential for expansion and growth and creating jobs in small communities? Thanks, Madam Chair.
