Maybe I should just backtrack there and say that for this summer and fall, we would like to have legislation drafted. We estimate about eight to 10 months for the drafting because we have just finished the consultation. We are aiming for the summer and fall to have legislation drafted, and by November 2002, we hope to have draft legislation to Cabinet for approval to proceed. Following that, the draft legislation to go to the Legislative Assembly in November, next fall, and then, of course, the standing committee would review the draft legislation. By next winter/spring 2003, we would like to deal with the legislation through a legislative process. By late spring, we are aiming for the legislation to be concluded in the House. That way, by the fall of 2003, the act will come into force. That is our timing on it right now. We think we are still on target. Thank you.
