Thank you, Madam Chair. So, Madam Chair, I understand at this point that in order to provide -- or in order to request the contract or to do the procurement, they are looking at having a completion of the Mineral Resources Act regulations. And so in order for that to be completed -- again, that is now on track to have -- to be out and gazetted and doing section 35 consultations this coming fall, which would mean that in early 2024 that that final they'd be at a procurement stage.
I do understand, Madam Chair, that there's some effort to do things parallel as much as possible in the sense of some design and planning being undertaken concurrently. Nevertheless, the actual procurement won't take place until again the Mineral Resource Act regs themselves are finalized, which again, does need to still go through the gazetting and formal consultative process this fall. Thank you.
