Mr. Chairman, as the Members are aware, the federal government announced as a condition for the approval of the BHP project to proceed, they wanted a protected areas strategy developed within two years. The good Minister, Mr. Irwin, following that announcement, then asked myself, as the Minister, if I would take the lead in moving to develop this particular strategy. Following that announcement, we have put on hold this privatization initiative regarding parks. Thank you.
