Well, Mr. Speaker, obviously the timetable is largely going to be dictated to us. We have to sit down and look at the costing information that's been presented. We know that the National Energy Board will be doing that. We want to ensure that we are talking apples to apples. I know some of the new figures are around better estimates related to anchor field development going forward. I believe there was almost a - a plug figure is the wrong term - but there were some very loose estimates given to that and we can now see that they are billions more than was initially expected. So we will sit down as the Cabinet, talk about this and talk about how we move forward to best support this project. However, I can tell you that we continue to lobby and advocate for the Aboriginal Pipeline Group and their interests. Obviously their costs have risen; it's going to be harder for them to borrow money. We have some concerns about their returns and we're going to be working hard to make sure that they still have a viable interest in this project. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
