Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I see the Tundra Science Camp there and that is a program that has been good. I am wondering if that is considered part of the implementation of the science project. I guess not as there is no funding for this year, but in relation to that, where is our implementation of the science, the new science agenda budgeted, just for my edification? Thank you.

Mr. McLeod.

I also wish to table my letter to the acting secretary of the National Energy Board requesting termination of intervener status for myself. Thank you.

That is what community business or a community government is going to need to initiate a program. I am trying to stay as focused as possible there but, again, I appreciate that information.
