Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think it is important to clarify that the $18 million that we have identified is a one time cost for the movement of bodies, severance pay and whatever needs to by paid out for decentralization. Mr. Todd and his officials have had some meetings with the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and her staff, and our own dividend secretariat staff and members of our division planning committee. Members have met with other federal government representatives, and there are other meetings scheduled in the next few weeks.
