Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as the sub-agreements are being reached by the Northwest Territories negotiators at the table, these sub-agreements will be coming to me, as the ministry, and I will have to have it go by Cabinet for approval. Once it is approved by Cabinet, then we will inform the Members about their arrangements in the sub-agreement. As the sub-agreements come forward, they become part of the agreement-in-principle so there are about 32 different items that are on the table for the Beaufort Delta. If I am correct, there are about six areas of sub-agreements that have been worked on and been developed at the present time. So we have a long ways to go before we reach an agreement-in -principle. Once that is done, that is the total package, and it will be moved forward so that the public will be aware of the contents. It is some ways down the line. Yesterday we talked about the timing. It is hard to estimate that. There are Members in this House who have been involved in negotiations so it is hard to tell exactly, pinpoint, when this is going to be done. We mentioned somewhere between six months to about a year or 12 months timeframe before this is concluded. Thank you.
