Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, years ago when I worked on the tug boats on the Slave River, I recall seeing lumber mills along the river. There were at least three that I recall, that were cutting and producing lumber year round. Those, I believe, were independently owned and I think even the RC mission had a mill along the river somewhere and they produced lumber for quite some time. They were never supported by any government monies, at least that I can recall. I think there's only one left in the whole territories that is totally independent. This morning on the news, Mr. Speaker, there was some good news that this lumber mill in Fort Resolution has now opened, or reopened, with government support, and I want to ask a question to the Minister responsible for ED&T. If the Minister could tell me to what degree our government is involved in the opening of this mill and the continuation of its operation.
