I know it is difficult to give definitive responses to my questions, but I am just trying to get an idea of some of the potentials, possibilities and variables that are involved in this. It is a pretty complex area. I guess my fast question to the Minister, or through the Minister, to Mr. Guthrie is, is the Minister satisfied that we are doing everything that we can as quickly as we can to prepare ourselves for these eventualities. The Minister, more than most people, understands the number of hoops that one has to go through to get one of these projects... (Recording difficulties)...I guess my concern is that we might not only have one, we might have two. We don't know. A whole bunch of things may start cooking really fast. What I wouldn't like to see is the Power Corporation be ill-prepared to take advantage of some opportunities. Are we doing everything we can do to make sure we are prepared to deal with however this whole mining play may actually unfold over the next few years?
