Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I said in my opening comments, because we have not concluded the agreement with Canada, we can't include it in the main estimates. If you look at the 2006-2007 Main Estimates column, you will notice that last year the same thing happened and we had to bring in the amount of money that we do eventually sign off on with Canada as a supplementary. We are still in the process of negotiating that cooperation agreement. We believe that we will see the same amount of money this year or in subsequent years that we have this year. But until the deal is signed, we can't put it in the budget.
