Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess that's where the confusion lies, is that, you know, we put the onus on the Office of the Fire Marshal and legislation there. And so, you know, when I look at what the fire marshal does, I thought it was kind of just related to, you know, anything that to do with fire aspect of it. But it goes on -- it goes on to -- into getting into the structural design and all that as well, which people are -- which I know which -- which companies are kind of having a problem with because what's happening is that, you know, architects, structural engineers who are doing designs, you know, they -- you know, they've got the -- the liability is on them. And then it comes to the Office of the Fire Marshal, and then the fire marshal is -- it's my understanding is scrutinizing that and whether the fire marshal is an architect or a -- you know, a structural engineer, I don't know. And that's where the problem seems to be right now. And, yeah, so I guess, you know, how are we going to get around that? And the only way I see getting around it is through our own legislation that -- that makes sure that we -- you know, that we -- we have the electrical; we have the gas; we have structural; we have fire. You know, we don't even have a plumbing code here in the Northwest Territories. We do follow -- you know, people do follow the -- I think some respect, the National Building Code, but, you know, you go to places and nobody really follows up on it. I think maybe the City of Yellowknife maybe has somebody that does inspections but if you go outside Yellowknife, you're on your own and you can kind of do what you want. So -- yeah, so I guess what are you going do about that type of confusion? Thank you.
