Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. Earlier today I reminded the Minister of the commitments he made March 9 about respecting the wishes of communities with respect to logging in the Liard and Nahanni Valley. Can the Minister explain to the House why Patterson Sawmill Enterprise, which was purchased earlier this year by the Government of the Northwest Territories Development Corporation for $1.4 million, has gone ahead and applied for land use permits on August 12 without the prior consultation with the people of Jean Marie River and Fort Simpson? Thank you.
