Mr. Chairman, I think that is the purpose of asking the Department of Renewable Resources to come forward with an options paper to give FMB and Cabinet some ideas of how this could be, because paying out the $125,000 a year, which is clearly the responsibility of the federal government, is somewhat distressing to us. As Mr. Kakfwi says, there are some problems with the agreement that have to be worked out. I am hoping that Mr. Kakfwi will come forward with an options paper that will set out, in no uncertain terms, how we can go about not having to pay for the $125,000 and make the federal government do that and, at the same time, honour the agreement between these two parties. If we are successful in doing that, then I would be most anxious to try and go back over the last five years and try and get those funds back that we paid out on behalf of the federal government. I am waiting on the options paper, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
