Finance committee  Thank you very much for the question. I think I'll refer it to my colleague, Ms. Leah Anderson, to see if she's able to respond to that question on the declining interest rates and the impact.

Finance committee  Most of the work is related to new and continuing work on Trans Mountain entities and the divestiture of Ridley Terminals that we can't address with our existing departmental resources.
