Well, first of all, it was my intent on the affirmative action/northern labour policy to go to Government Ops, but it may be that it does have government wide policy ramifications that I find another method so that everybody is hooked into this so I can seek their advice. I appreciate what my colleague said on that issue, and it is certainly not our intent to circumvent anybody. You know, sometimes when you are in negotiations and when we are talking about division of the territories, these are very sensitive negotiations and it is three parties at the table. And sometimes there is a time to be direct and sometimes there is a time to be diplomatic and my response to my colleague was, well he is disappointed. It is time to be diplomatic because we have not quite got to the need for directness. Thank you.
