Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, of course the short answer is yes, we want to continue to work on trying to set up one of these board processes. The last offer which was on the table, when the negotiations were with the federal government, was that there was enough money for one board. I understand that it is too large a board. The offer which could work perhaps is that there be one administration that would serve three sub-boards. That was not responded to and we never got past that. I think that we recognize the problem. In terms of financial support for how that board works, we have a number of options. For some reason, when we did try to push it, the communities said that they were involved with land claims and that they wanted to pursue that and they were not prepared to work as a total group. Yes, we will try and do something about that and follow up positively on it.
