Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a closing comment. We certainly know that hindsight is always 20/20 and in fact, yes, we have learned a very valuable, but expensive lesson. I do know that the Minister was a businessman at some point of his life and I think when a business is indicating some problems that it is not moving in the direction that the businessman wants, that you do something. You do something about it before catastrophe strikes and creditors are on your door. This, in future, probably should be a rule book that we can follow that if we do run a project like this again, God forbid, that we not be afraid to lean on whoever is in charge or responsible. If it is our objective to break even or to make money, we must be on top of these things before they become problems. As the saying goes, "Do not be afraid to ask silly questions because they are easier to answer than silly mistakes." We have indeed learned a lesson from this.
