Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do recognize what my honourable colleague is saying. He addressed the issue in the House earlier this week. Clearly there is a need to be more aggressive in the marketplace and explain to industry that we are open to business under certain conditions.
No, at this time, there were no provisions made on my department's part to move forward with a delegation into Calgary and other areas. However, we did discuss it informally earlier this morning, and my honourable colleague's comments over the last two or three days are well founded and we have to be more aggressive in the oil and gas field as we have been in the diamond and mineral fields. I want to assure my honourable colleague that is what we intend to do in the coming months, but to date we have not done it. Thank you.
