Mr. Speaker, there were several parties to the discussion. Of course, the major partner in this negotiation was the federal government. The federal government indicated that they would only speak with those groups who either had a settled claim or a right to a claim along the pipeline route. They determined that that is the group that would be directly impacted and that is who the $500 million negotiations were to be directed toward and resulted in an agreement. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
