Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we are interested in moving on this, as are the authorities, as soon as we have the legislative authority to do so. That has been the one piece that is missing. As I indicated, we do have expressions of interest from various authorities for being involved in this particular initiative. As the Member knows, and as the committee has mentioned numerous times, it is long overdue to get underway. We are prepared to move immediately upon the passing of the legislation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, once the legislation has passed, we hopefully plan to be operational by this fall. Given that we are upon the summer break, we will get the regulations done to get the agreement signed and various terms clarified so we can start this initiative by this fall. Thank you.
