Oh, Mr. Chair, why is this taking so long? I can speak a bit to the Mineral Resource Act regulations which is bound up with MARS because MARS, of course -- I shouldn't say of course, I'm sorry. It is a complicated thing to do and perhaps more complicated than it seems on its face. Because online map staking on its face seems like a simple and good thing, but if it's going to happen to the MARS system, the MARS system is taking all of the existing mineral resource information and digitizing it and making it accessible and functional from within a digital system. It's doing that within the Land Tenure Optimization System, which itself was also not done and was delayed after COVID. So we're waiting on that to get finished as the sort of infrastructure, then the MARS system gets put on top of it, and it requires the regulations to be ready to go so that there can be decisions made about the kind of engagements that are expected to take place. So, for instance, when and how proactively a proponent will be expected to go to an Indigenous government or Indigenous community and speak to them before doing online map staking, that is part of what is changing with respect to the Mineral Resources Act regulations. That is then built into this system. That's just by way of one example.

So now that said, we have been here before. I recognize that we've been here before, and I think others do as well. Some of the process certainly did take longer. It was one of the first projects that's gone through the legislative protocol that we have under the Indigenous government -- IGS. So in the end, they'll be some good news, Mr. Chair, but at this point all of those processes were fairly new and have certainly taken longer than what was anticipated. Thank you.
