Mr. Chairman, the only layoffs that remain to be implemented in Yellowknife are five, and they are mainly tied to the user say initiative for purchasing. The people who are involved are aware of this and there will be no surprises for anyone. There are five more and that is the end of it for '97/98. Thank you.
