Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just for further clarification, the three things that I mentioned weren't meant as a comprehensive list of everything we were going to do. I think there are a lot of areas where we assist communities, whether it's in economic development or training, contracting, value-added benefits. There are a whole bunch. I didn't list them all. I was answering the question which was asked specifically with regard to impact benefit agreements and access agreements. Those are things that would flow out of the claims and so on. So those are issues that we have not historically gotten involved in; certainly not gotten involved in with the mining operations. The access and benefit agreements are things that will be negotiated, I am sure, by the aboriginal governments and communities along the pipeline right-of-way, but that's something that is not part of what we have been involved in in the mining sector. As I said, I expect that will be the same case with the pipeline. Thank you.
