With regard to going back to the contractors.

If the suggestion is to go back to the manufacturer, and negotiate better prices, then that would be okay.

However, it would be catastrophic to go back to the people who are responsible for putting Algar together. So, I'm hoping that by saying "contractor" you are not referring to the 7 experts that have been hired, who also put Pod 1 together. These are individuals who I will not name at this point, who I understand are the best at what they do with regard to building a SAGD plant. I am confident that their financial compensation is reasonable under any circumstances.

This would be the absolute worst time to try to gain a little money by in effect trying to cut their wages. My best estimation is that it would be not possible to build Algar without the expertise of these 7 gentlemen.

Enough said. I felt I had to jump in on this topic, as perhaps many of you don't realize how important these individuals are to the success of what Connacher does.

They are the best in the business. They are the glue that ensures that all of us as Connacher investors will be very happy with the professional completiion that will happen at Algar.

Best Wishes,
