Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A little bit of the concern that I had with the first recommendation that appears in our committee’s report was the date of April 1, 2005. It was a date that was put out there I guess to try to put the brakes on the losses that were happening at the Sirius plant, to give some assurance to the Regular Members here that this issue would be dealt with once and for all by April 1st. But I want to try and get a comment from the Minister on what’s going to unfold here. I know there were numerous proponents lining up when the initial call for proposals went out for the Sirius...

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Pokiak.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I find that comment, Mr. Roland, very interesting, as well. Last week when we had the Minister...Well, I’m not quite sure if I can mention that. From what I understand, Mr. Chairman, the waivers were to be in place last week and if the Minister’s here before us today saying these waivers aren’t in place, another week has gone by, thousands more dollars have been lost and I’d like to ask the Minister where the waivers are and when we are going to get on with this. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. We’re going to go to Mr. Pokiak, who has one quick question, and then I’m going to call for a short 10-minute break. Thank you, gentlemen. I know you’ve been there for quite some time. So one quick question from Mr. Pokiak and then we’ll take a break.
