Thank you for that question.
Yes, both the U.S. and the European Space Agency are embarking on ambitious new programs. In the U.S., President Bush announced a new vision in terms of missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond, and he has called upon all countries to participate in a journey, not a race. With about 13 or 14 countries, NASA is leading some extensive consultation on exactly what the exploration program would look like.
In Canada we've met with all of our stakeholders to build on unique Canadian expertise. As I said, we're good in niche areas, so we're looking at what niche technologies we could bring to contribute to that world global exploration program. At this stage we'll know more from NASA themselves. They will be unveiling the concept of their program in late December. We can anticipate that probably in the springtime Canada will be expected to indicate the level of contribution that we'll want to play. We're working on options and we'll bring those options to our minister and to the government. We still have some homework to do, but those are grosso modo the timelines.
