Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For sure, I cannot speak for Grand Chief Herb Norwegian. I mean, I'm not 100 percent clear what the deal would be that he would find acceptable. Mr. Speaker, I can say that whenever we come to an agreement like this, there will always be people who feel that a better deal could have been gotten if we had done something differently. That's always the case. My view is that this is a good deal. If it goes through from current agreement-in-principle status to final agreement, then I think this is a deal that gives us a lot more than what we'd get today, for sure. Is it the best deal that's possible? Is it possible to get a better deal? Possibly. I don't know. But all of us know that at some point we have to make a decision and move forward. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
