Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned yesterday, we had a meeting with the Prime Minister. Following that, our officials and federal officials met. They began the process of framing out what this might look like, Mr. Speaker. I am meeting this afternoon with some of my officials to look at the work they've done and also to provide them with some advice on some of the things I would like to see in it. The officials will be meeting in Ottawa again early next week to continue to frame a bit of a framework, a communications plan, a strategy, some of the short-term deliverables that we might be considering and also a consultation strategy about how we would go about consulting with all of the parties who may be interested. The objective here, as I stated, Mr. Speaker, is to try to put together something that might be announced in late November.
