Thank you, Madam Chair. I have one quick question and one last concern. I won't try to drag this on too long. The $1.5 million, minerals and oil and gas royalties, again, we used to get so many royalties. I think something we really need to look at as a government is, any time there is new development in the future, to find a way that, if there is any sort of massive ebbs, like we are having right now, to have some cost certainty or royalty certainty, for lack of better words. Any time the market has tanked, no matter what is negotiated, any time we negotiate with industry or the resources sector, to have that balance there. When times are good, yes, the royalties are going to be great, but we still have to be prepared to make sure that we don't have as low numbers as these. I think this is probably a historical low in terms of income. I will just leave that as a comment. I think that's something we need to always find ways to make sure that we get as much juice for our squeezing from our resource sector without hurting business, as well, on their end. Thank you.
