We have been working with a very large group in developing this draft plan, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise to anybody. We’ve reached out and had a number of meetings with the Chamber of Mines, Chamber of Commerce and other organizations. Also, we have to keep in mind that settling the land claims is very important. We want to do it as quickly as possible. There are 144,000 square kilometres of land as part of the interim land withdrawal, and once those land claims are settled, there’ll be additional land available. As I said, it’s a draft document and it’ll be a transition document and it will be dealt with in the 18th Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
