Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have had meetings and some exchange of correspondence with Royal Oak. We have discussed the proposed goals toward emissions regulations with them. The discussions have gone fairly well. I am quite pleased with the discussion we have had to-date. There is an intent to try to come to some satisfactory arrangement in regard to the concerns raised about the emissions. In short, we are working on it together. Thank you.
