Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I really appreciate that information. My next question is kind of a stretch, but I think it has relevance here. My next question is actually in regard to the surface rights board, which I know is a Lands line item; it is not an ITI line item. It is $303,000 that I learned that a constituent of mine and myself almost made NWT history in almost using it, and I think that that is something that could have been mitigated by improving and formalizing a process, an internal and external process, between Lands and ITI. Right now, somebody can come to ITI, and they get a subsurface land rights; and they go to Lands, and they get surface land rights. If those two licences conflict with one another, then they go on the use of surface rights board, which, thankfully in the Northwest Territories, has not needed to be used. However, there is no part in the process where ITI communicates with Lands, or if it is in the process, it is not consistently used. I am wondering if the Minister will commit to formalizing an internal and external communication process to better educate clients on how those two licences work together. Thank you.
