Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, the socio-economic agreements are fairly similar in a lot of areas. They cover a lot of the same areas of agreement, particularly in target areas such as northern employment, aboriginal employment, northern preference or northern purchases. There are some differences with regard to northern residency and access to information. We do monitor and we do report on both agreements, so that information is available. There are some small differences in the definition of a Northerner. But both of those agreements were negotiated agreements, and I think they're fairly difficult to change unless there's agreement on all sides. Thank you.
