Mr. Chairman, I just finished saying that if Members want, I would be happy to do a status report. I do not want to repeat myself too much but this was certainly viewed as urgent last spring. Again, I have to say that we had the electrical generation report. There was an American election. There was going to be an energy strategy for the U.S. to develop. The Energy Reference Committee was established by the federal government. The western provinces were talking about a western power grid. All of these things created a window of opportunity for us so it was necessary to take advantage of that and we did that. We do have a lot of information now that will substantiate our hydro potential.

We have also had extensive consultations at the assembly level with aboriginal leadership. We want to continue carrying on with that one. I think there has been a lot of progress made in taking advantage of the opportunity that existed. I think Canada, including the federal government, realized the potential we have in this area now and we are a player at the table.

In terms of the urgency with aboriginal consultation, there are assemblies held generally once a year. They are held mostly in the summer, anywhere from late June/early July through to the end of August. We wanted to be prepared to be able to take this initiative to the aboriginal assemblies and get their views on it. We have been clear all along that we will not proceed unless they are in full agreement with it happening in their traditional area. We have heard from people. Some want more information.

There was no other way, given the urgency of responding to things that are happening nationally and continentally. Thank you.
