We're certainly hoping to hear your views, as broadly speaking members of the government, in the sense of what risk it is reasonable for the Crown to accept. In order to have that approved, we would need some form of cabinet approval, whether through a Treasury Board or cabinet submission, because it would be an increase in the contingent liability to the Crown. So this is probably the route that would be taken.
