The agreement has certain

milestones that take effect at certain instances. A board can be established now that is co-funded with the proponents. Payments are ready to start.

I guess I can go back to some of the experiences of other pipelines — the Norman Wells pipeline, for example. By waiting until the project was approved, the project never got off the ground. There was $12 million in training that was never spent and returned to the federal government. That’s the downside of waiting until the last minute to start planning and preparing for a major project, probably the largest in North America that’s going to be happening. To leave the details to the last minute I don’t think will benefit anybody.
