Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. First of all, we did not have enough time to address all the student issues and the casual hiring issues that we had wanted to and we still intend to do something in this area. As for management, a lot of them being here for ten years, obviously that would address one priority that is within the government's affirmative action, that is if they change it to 10 years. Certainly, we know that we are not only talking northerners here, long term northerners, we are talking about the aboriginal side as well and we are also talking about women. Those areas would also have to be addressed. We are not only talking about addressing one priority, there are other people, other than long term northerners who have affirmative action status.
