Mr. Chairman, there have been examinations for discovery, I think the lawyers term it. Mr. Bower has spent some time in Ottawa being cross-examined. The court case is still proceeding. Although, at the last meeting with Mr. Irwin that Mr. Todd and I attended three weeks ago, we did reiterate again our plan to try and settle this dispute out of court. To that end, we're developing a position at the present time. The federal government is aware that we're developing a position. We already know who the contacts are going to be. Sometime within the next six weeks we'll get those people together and discuss this issue to see if we can achieve an out of court settlement. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
