Mr. Chairman, I know there was some discussion about it over the last months, but it was over the last two or three weeks that the president of the Gwich'in Tribal Council formally gave notice that they were separating and doing their own thing. So, Mr. Chairman, from our perspective, we are going to have two different sets of negotiations and two different negotiators, one for the Inuvialuit, one for the Gwich'in, and we will take the money and divide it up into some equitable basis yet to be determined following the confirmation from the Gwich'in that they are no longer in the joint process. Thank you.
