Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We're all aware that the cost of doing business in the North is higher than in other areas in Canada. I've had dealings with the BIP over the last number of years and I know it's not a perfect arrangement. It's very frustrating at times and very time consuming. It's a nightmare for most of the business people trying to carry out the necessary paperwork to complete their jobs for payment. At this point, I would find it very difficult to get rid of this particular arrangement, until something was put in place that would be acceptable to all parties. Thank you.
