Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the memorandum of understanding, let's be clear, and it's written down there, the memorandum of understanding is between ourselves and ATCO. Mackenzie gas project hasn't signed this agreement. We're in a situation where they've approached us, they have a patent pending on this and if we're going to take that and work with them through the Housing Corporation and say yes it sounds like a good idea, and then take that and shop it around to three other international companies, wouldn't it be their right to ask if we're going to share this information? We want to keep it confidential because we think we have a potential market. Doesn't that make sense? It's the thing to do, Mr. Speaker, to try and ensure that we meet what's expected of us: accountability and providing services to the people of the Northwest Territories. So, no, Mr. Speaker, there is no dollar attachment; there is no commitment to buy units. Our commitment through this agreement is to work on a concept that maybe can be put forward and if it's accepted by the Mackenzie gas project, we then can have a deal. Thank you.
