Mr. Speaker, the oil and gas companies are interested in alliance within the Northwest Territories and they should be in a particular area. Irregardless of the location, irregardless of who the people in the vicinity are, it is the responsibility of this government to provide whatever support and assistance we can in order to allow for opportunities to be created, for processes to expedite economic development to be encouraged.
It is not the intent of this government to provide less services to certain peoples and regions of the north. It is my commitment and has always been a commitment I have had to provide for that. It is an opportunity and a privilege to provide and to offer a meeting to the member and his people and these leaders at the earliest opportunity to meet to see what we can do in this specific area. Aside from the earlier meeting that he was requesting, if there are specific things that we can do in the next day or so to give a forum to some of his leaders from his region to express ways in which we can help assist them in capitalizing and seizing opportunities that are currently waiting to be opened, to be seized upon, I would be most happy to do that. Thank you.
