Mr. Speaker, I have talked, as I will repeat, I have talked with the president of the United States more often in the last six months about that than any other time. I am informed that today the negotiations have resumed, that we are making progress. There was some tabling of some clarification by the provinces that is helping in the circumstances, and I am very hopeful that there will be a resolution of this problem in the weeks to come.
