Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the detailed information from the Minister. I thought he was running the clock on me. Mr. Chair, I thought, if I understand it correctly, the Akaitcho are going to run a water summit coming up here. I am not sure why the Minister would want to be running one as well. I don't know if he is competing or enhancing it some other way, but I am just curious on this technical advisor detail and then you went on further to talk about the impacts of oil sands. I am surprised you are not going off to an area in discussion that talks about reaching CPAWS and things like that to get them to do the work I bet you could make a small contribution to them and they would be quite pleased to help and share information. You did talk about updating the Yukon and NWT transboundary agreement, but I have heard you say in the past that that was one of the easiest agreements we've had and it's already in place. If I understand it correctly, the other transboundary agreements right now are sitting idle. Although I am sure they are being looked at, but they are sitting idle until B.C. works with Alberta to sort that out. I am just trying to get a sense of that. There seems to be a lot of work here. I am just trying to get a sense of if it's realistic, is some of this already being done?
