Yes, absolutely.
I was involved with the discovery of Ekati, the diamond mine in the NWT, quite a long time ago. I'll give you a quick timeline on Ekati. Our first drill hole into kimberlite was in late 1991. We started permitting in 1994, and our last permits were available in 1996. We went into production in 1998. That was a tier one world-class mine.
I can't permit drill holes fast enough to permit that entire mine in the NWT. Granted it's a different time, but that's a demonstration of how long our permitting is presently taking in Canada.
