Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will not be calling an inquiry into this area. We have done some internal work. We're aware of where our situation is and we continue to work on the cost-benefit analysis. Hopefully we'll be able to come forward with that by early spring and be able to provide the layout of what's happened right from when we got involved as a government and all the programs involved and try to see if, in fact, it was a wise decision or not by the government. That will help formulate where we go as a government. We also know, for example, the socioeconomic agreement that's in place with one of the operations is not very strong for the Government of the Northwest Territories and is a very broad one. So we already have impacts and know where things haven't quite worked and are working on those fronts. Thank you.
