Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would say that we had a good meeting at lunch with the chief and the Metis president and some councillors and the Member himself. We've agreed to a number of steps. We had a good meeting where we came to an agreement. It's a difficult, sensitive issue. There's a letter being drafted that I'm going to sign off that's going to be given to the chief and the Metis president so that they can, when they return home tonight to their communities, they can let the people know in fact what has transpired. At this point, Mr. Speaker, without making this more complicated than necessary, the chief and Metis president or the Member hasn't seen the letter yet, which will reflect the meetings, and the people in the community of Resolution have not, as well, had a chance to hear anything from their leaders. So while I would like to be as open on this issue as possible, I'm sensitive to the fact that I wouldn't want the people in the community to find information out in the House maybe before the leadership has had a chance to carry that message home. If the Member is of the opinion that we should pursue that question, then I would be happy to share some of that detail. Thank you.
