Okay, now I've got the pressure on me. I don't understand why you want to go in camera when I don't get a chance to wish all my colleagues around the table a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday, but I guess I can't say that on the record.

When do we envision having this meeting, Mr. Davies, considering that we're planning on going to Colombia...just in terms of scheduling?
