Maybe I'm way out to lunch here, but I thought Stellmach was reviewing on whether or not he wants to up the percentage. So if gas prices fall, the percentage taken falls too does it not? So in a way, it's not like gas companies will go bankrupt if it goes down. Well, unless it dips down to the point where its not economically viable for those companies to extract anymore gas. But can't the government build in a provision in there somewhere or something in case that happens that they'll take less royalties? I'm sure there are ways around it.
