I would say that all of the consortium members were part of our consultation process and participated in the round tables that my department along with IRPP organized and their information and their perspectives were certainly taken into consideration through the consultation process. What we did hear was that there was absolutely interest in continuing to play an important role. However, the commissioner will decide based on proposals that are submitted through a call for proposals as to the organizing entity, but we fully expect that there will be interest on their behalf to participate.
