Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As a Minister I have stated on many occasions to business groups, to aboriginal organizations, to municipal and environmental groups, groups like Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund. My approach is very open and transparent. If they wish to meet, I am always available. I will make the time during the course of the amalgamation. When we are planning the amalgamation, I met many times with the different groups just to hear the concerns, some of the fears they had, try to address them. All of them, I would like to think, were given a very clear message that any time there was something that they wished to say to me, all they had to do was ask and I would do what I could to make the time available so I could meet and hear what it is they wish to pass on to me. Thank you.
