I do not think that we have the flexibility to move it forward another year and from what it would appear, with other priorities, it would be difficult to advance it any further than where it is right now. We will examine next year's capital plan as it comes out to see whether or not any other changes need to be made but as things stand now, it has come forward as much as it possibly can.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am satisfied that the Minister will once again look at it in next year's budget to see if it can be moved ahead any further than what it has been. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. I take it that your motion has to be translated. I have you last on the list to speak toward the activity. I have two ways to handle this. If I do not have anyone else to speak to the activity, I will have the committee break while we have the motion translated. Mr. Krutko, although I recognize your motion is on the floor, I will ask if anybody else will speak to the activity. Since there is no one else speaking to the activity we will take a break while the motion is translated and then we could come back and finalize this activity.

--Break
