Mr. Speaker, maybe I'm reading the question wrong, but the Member seems to be suggesting that this is too much money. We think it's an adequate amount of money to do the socio-economic monitoring. They'll be working with our government to monitor the project. We will have people on this board who will have to make site visits, who will have to go to communities to talk to community members about the impacts, about the commitments that have been made. So, Mr. Speaker, there is research to be done, there's on-the-ground site visits to be made, we do need a budget to do that kind of thing. Thank you.
