Thank you, Madam Chair. We have closed the intake on the applications of the CEO. I believe that they will be coming to me soon with their recommendations. Hopefully, we will have someone in that role within the next couple of months, and then I would imagine that it would take that person some time -- I just have clarification that it closed last Friday. During that time, the person will need a little bit of time to get a climatized to their job and to learn the role after which the first task will be to tell me what they're going to do with the BDIC, and tell the board, and how we're going to change this and do things better. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I appreciate that a new person is going to have to have some time to get up to speed and so on, but I will just pick a date. Is this going to be a Christmas present that the Minister is going to give us as MLAs to have a look at a new plan for BDIC? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I think it would be premature to commit to an exact date at this time, given that we are all sitting here in phase 1 of COVID emerging and have no idea when wave 2 or wave 3 may hit. I would like to commit to having that to the Member by the end of the year; however, at this time, I really can't predict the future. Given that there are a lot of uncertainties here, I don't want to make a promise that I can't keep. Therefore, I will just state that and leave it at that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I understand that there are lots of uncertainties. I guess, when the House sits again in the fall, maybe the Minister can give us an update at that point to say where she thinks things are at. Look, this person has a pretty heavy load of saving the North, it sounds like, so I appreciate the Minister's response. I look forward to an update in the fall. Thanks, Madam Chair. That's all I've got.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would say that we, as the North, love to make it all one person's responsibility all of the time, and I will just leave it at that. Thank you, Madam Chair.
