Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to reiterate to the member that that's what we are doing and we got Cabinet direction to not spend any more money on the Giant Mine surface cleanup until we are clear about who is responsible for what. Our officials tabled a draft process outline with DIAND in October of 2002. There were several attempts to engage federal officials and they were insistent that a formal process be agreed upon, but DIAND has neither provided input on our draft outline nor provided an alternative outline for our consideration. So I guess it's Cabinet direction that I am following at this point in time to negotiate before we spend any more money. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
