Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well I guess I still have concerns that the Minister has communicated to us that in fact, the federal government have not signed off on the agreement and that he is trying to negotiate a floor in there. I support that. I think you need some form of certainty, but I am a little concerned that the federal government will look at the situation because it is not signed and they are looking for ways to save monies for themselves. I am a little concerned that they are going to look at it and say, well, you tried to put a floor in here, but your revenues are going down, too. I still have that as a concern, that they are going to be drawing that to our attention. That the funds that we were generating and contributing to the federal coffers are not there, as they were in the past. Thank you.
