Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The aboriginal communities and aboriginal groups are also involved in this process, as I have said. It would be premature and presumptuous of us to take positions in advance of their having an opportunity to give due consideration to some of the suggestions that are being made by the proponents. We try to make it a habit to hear out communities as well as the environmental groups, the aboriginal communities affected, to ensure that their concerns, economically, from a business standpoint, their concerns and interests regarding wildlife, the land, and the environment are all properly weighed and considered by themselves as well as by the process and that we take an active part in that. That is generally how we carry out our part of the exercise in a process like this. Thank you.
