Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, let me say that it's our view that if the ownership of the federal government's share of that oilfield were to change hands we should not have to buy it. That should be part of the devolution deal. If they don't want to agree to that, then let us get a share of the royalties off their equity piece as well. It doesn't matter to us whether it's Imperial who owns it or the federal government or Petro-Canada or who it is, we should be collecting royalties from it. But if it is to be transferred, then it should be transferred but we shouldn't have to pay market dollars for that. That wouldn't make any sense, from our position. Thank you.
