Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Then with that understanding and feedback from the Member, I would be happy to inform the House that at the meeting at lunch we agreed that firstly that the project to depopulate the herd would continue and it's still under quarantine and considered infected, and in fact they found another infected animal yesterday, I believe. We've committed to meet again on the 23rd in Yellowknife with the Metis president and the chief and the Member to talk about the issue of what may be appropriate for compensation. We've agreed with the community that we would negotiate with the band and the Metis, for the band and the Metis and the community to do the rehabilitation of the site that's required, and that we are going to proceed with the process of moving a number of the animals down to a facility and a home where they will be slaughtered and tested, and the meat that is deemed to be healthy and clean will be put for sale and we will look at returning those proceeds to the community. I believe that, in a nutshell, Mr. Speaker, is highlights of the key points that we agreed to. Thank you.
