Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm not sure if that's something I could give a clear answer as whether they're appropriate for today. Things have changed a lot in the last while. The previous generations did not have to deal with the same impacts for our water systems as we do today. Climate change, exploration, the oil boom in Alberta and the exploration that's happening in the Northwest Territories is certainly having an impact. We are continually trying to improve our positioning through agreements with other jurisdictions and we have, so far, been able to sign one with the Yukon and we have signed a framework with Alberta. We continue to talk with B.C. and Saskatchewan, and the provinces themselves have started coming forward and putting their own plans for water management, as Alberta has announced already. We have to continue to make sure the plans are adequate, and as part of that we will review legislation that we have in place to ensure that that continues to be so. Thank you.
