Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, probably the major factor governing the timeframe for a decision is related to the fact that Indian Affairs gave them an extension to the existing permit for three years. Within that timeline, we expected some consultations to take place as to the future management and control of that particular route. As a government, we did put in an objection to the original application, which was for a ten-year extension. We objected to that with the thought that we would take over the route. So I suppose the major factor here is that Indian Affairs has another two years, roughly a year and a half left whereby they would have to make a decision because this permit would run out.
