Thank you, Madam Chair. I think that really the whole purpose of the GSOs, government service officers, was to be able to provide services in small communities. It wasn't seen as a regional or a headquarters initiative. I note that there may be some appetite for it. I'm not against it either. But at this stage and honesty, Madam Chair, we're at the end of the government. We got, like, huge things we're trying to get finished within EIA. We've got, like, not only the priorities, the mandates, etcetera. We've got, like, things going on geopolitically that we're also watching for. We just went through COVID, etcetera. So I would say within the term of this government, it is not something that I'm looking at taking on at this point. It might be something the Member wants to brings forward in the next Assembly again. Those things take time to do. And my focus right now is getting done what we've already got on our plate. Now, if the opportunity slipped by me and there was conversation, I would take the opportunity, but at this point it's not something I'm going to focus a lot of time on. Thank you, Madam Chair.
