Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we were hoping that Mr. Peterson, when he got his terms of reference, that he had the full mandate. We were aware that there was a possibility that he might not. The first indication that he did not have this full mandate that we were hoping for was about three weeks ago when we first met with this person. Yes, our negotiators were there and we were aware of the background discussions that were going on between the staff, and we kind of had an indication of what the thinking was on the federal government's part, but we were there. Thank you.
