Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the BIP is one that has been debated a lot over the last 10 years. It has gone through several amendments, modifications and so on. There is a lot of debate about its value, what it costs us or doesn't cost us, who it works for and who it doesn't work for. During the coming year, RWED is doing an assessment to determine what it costs us in the various scenarios, and when we have that then we may chose to review the whole BIP, but at this point there is no decision made to review the whole policy. We recognize that it fits some situations better than others, but there is no commitment at this point to review that policy again. Thank you.
