As soon as I found out they wanted to meet with me, I made myself available. As I said, I gave my phone number to the entire group. We had a good meeting, and we're continuing to discuss the situation. I know there's a lot of work to be done, and I'm going to do it in collaboration with them. That's my responsibility and that of the federal government.
