Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The energy accord agreement is a sensitive issue at this time, and we're currently in negotiations with the different aboriginal groups in trying to reach a consensus as to our collective approach to the federal government. There is a self-imposed deadline, if you want, by the groups themselves; they were hopeful their positions would be clear by May 31st of this year. Now, whether, in fact, that would put us in a position then to move forward on negotiations, I am not sure. What we did ask and they've agreed to do is to bring forward all their positions on what they would want to see in the accord by May 31st. We would then have to determine if there was enough consensus to then move it forward to the federal government. Thank you.
