Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think it is ultimately important, Mr. Speaker, that time be allowed to digest this. Once the decision is made, it is too late. We, as the territorial government, can do something about that, and I wonder if the Minister will ask the receiver to table what the offer is and the company to table what the offer is to allow our employees that are affected by this, they are sitting on pins and needles out there, to say okay this is a good deal, there are two issues, one is employment and we understand there may be loss of employment and that is acceptable to a degree. But the second is succession rights. We cannot just accept that they wash their hands of everything, including DIAND, Miramar, if that is who is going to buy the mine, or whoever buys the mine. Would the Minister commit to a two week grace period that they ask the receiver so we can digest this? Thank you.
