Mr. Speaker, I want to assure the honourable Member that there is no intention to have, I think he called it, a select few people involved and I believe that the first phase of the planning showed that the department did reach out to a large number of community leaders and critical organizations, such as band councils, Metis locals, and local governments to name a few.

Mr. Speaker, I have recently informed the department that it is the desire of the residents of the Member's constituency to keep moving on this important exercise, and to begin the next phase. I have asked them to make it a priority to, again, begin these discussions in the near future. Thank you.
