Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is some suggestion that this is a very unwieldy, cumbersome regulatory regime. In fact, it is a new regime. At least in the Sahtu, the regime presiding over the Sahtu part of the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Regime has been working very well and processing applications and permits on a very timely basis. If the fear was there previously, there is reason to believe it should be unfounded. People setting up the boards and undertaking the work are working and moving to carry out their mandates and responsibilities in a very expeditious way. Thank you.
