Mr. Speaker, if we want to talk about the Member's specific constituency, we would look at what natural resources there are, where the transportation links are, what the people in the communities are producing by way of arts and crafts and where the community is strategically located. In some instances, we would look at the expertise within the community. Building on the strength of what is around the community is the economic philosophy we would use. The Simpson area and Liard, obviously has tremendous resources. The area has wood and natural gas. Part of the constituency is on the Mackenzie River and it does have a highway system; there is a loop between Alberta and BC through the Liard highway. Those things would all be factored in and we would be trying to suggest to the people that we should be building on those particular strengths. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
