Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We're trying and we're hopeful that this move can move ahead quickly. Discussions are ongoing. The contractor has been jointly funded by SSI and our government. As far as when these discussions will be concluded, I can't say definitively. A lot of it depends on the level of consultation going on with the communities and the feedback that they are getting, but let me reiterate our government's commitment to concluding this process and arriving at an MOU in the Sahtu area. We are fully committed to that and we will move this ahead as quickly as we possibly can without short changing some of the necessary consultation that we think has to take place in order for this to be comprehensive and meaningful when we're done. Thank you.
