Mr. Chairman, this was the third such meeting we have had. I understand that some common ground has been further developed in the set of meetings that finished this afternoon, so much so that the participants on both sides, including the provinces, have agreed to a further set of meetings in two weeks' time precisely to continue the solid work done so far. The discussions are continuing, which I think is a very healthy outcome of the parallel track in which we have engaged.
