Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this was a request by both the mines at the time. For whatever reason, the corporate entity of the Con Mine chose to withdraw, Giant continued. The offer would be open to any operational mines in the territories. This is still the territories. Whether it is in the geographical location of Nunavut or the west. I understand my honourable colleague's concerns but I am obviously not able this afternoon to convince him that this, in the long run, is a net gain to the Northwest Territories. Mr. Chairman, unless there is a new question that I can answer, I am at a loss how to convince him otherwise.
