Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Mr. Minister, again.
I'd like to move to the issue of Xstrata. I'd like your take as to what happened there, why there was the decision to let them basically move past the agreement. I've been through the Investment Canada Act several times in this committee, and I'm just disappointed with what's happening with regard to the budget. We've had a series of issues that have been brought forth a number of different times in this committee over the years.
Perhaps you could provide the reason for your decision. You mentioned in The Toronto Star that Xstrata is committing $680 million over the next couple of years on investment in Sudbury. Could you explain that and what type of commitment you got from them?
