Thank you, Madam Chair. It is hard to debate the decisions after the fact of what is the best judgement to use, but in my case going forward, I would have to look at all of the options put before me and decide if in fact the best interest of the Government of the Northwest Territories would be to continue with the arrangement made and collect on our guarantee, or would it be best to try to come up with another alternative arrangement that would still see some benefit, both to government and to the industry. Then I think we would have to take that at the time it would come forward. So based on that, as I said earlier, not knowing the atmosphere of the day and all the points that were considered, it would be difficult to discuss and come up with sort of a theoretical approach that would be used 100 percent of the time on every occasion. It would be, I think, case by case as each situation would come forward. Thank you.
