Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is an important aspect of this socio-economic agreement. Socio-economic monitoring is critical, it's vital. We do know that we will be challenged with a two-year, maybe three-year, construction period to have the board meet a few times a year, compile reports, receive information from our government, from Imperial, as to how successful they are being in meeting the objectives of the SEA. But the plan is to have them do just that. Come back to us with recommendations about adaptation, about changes, about things that we need to do. But, very much, their job is quite intense initially. After two years of construction, it's about monitoring the operations as it relates to socio-economics and it significantly ramps down, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
