As my colleague knows, this is a highly sensitive and political issue right now, so I am a little reticent in giving defined numbers. We are working very hard to try to get that for our own benefit. When we make an agreement, which I am still optimistic, we can, we can get the cheques in the hands of the people, whether they live in Toronto or Whale Cove. But, my understanding is, in the preliminary review my staff had done with respect to the retroactivity side, in other words, what we owe people who were originally there, half of these people have now terminated their employment. I am advised, again, I qualify it by saying, I need to see the numbers clearly, I am advised it seems that about 70 percent of these people now reside somewhere besides the territories. Thank you.
