Mr. John McKeon:

We have just started to prepare the tender documentation, so I expect we will tender, probably towards the end of the first quarter or early in the second quarter next year. We do want to consult with the sector. It is easier for us in some ways to prepare a tender and just throw it out there, but we are concerned that there is proper consultation so that the sector has an opportunity to input into the design. We must be careful in doing that, as we cannot construct a tender for a particular outcome. We must do it in a way that it is open, but we certainly want to get the input from the providers into how that should be done.
