We can certainly have those discussions, but there's no doubt in my mind and I believe this government has been very clear that we believe that NWT gas should be a Canadian priority. We think it is a Canadian priority. We think this project is of a much more realistic scope than some of the Alaskan gas. No doubt at some point both of these projects will be developed. The demand in the lower 48 and the continental energy strategy I think envisions both projects. I think it's more realistic that the NWT project will come on stream first. Certainly we can have some discussions with the Producers Group to make sure that their minds haven't been changed. I haven't seen the recent interview that the Member speaks to, but the last time I did have a chance to sit down with the Producers Group they were still firmly behind this project and believe that it will go forward. Thank you.
