Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I notice in this presentation that there are projects and potential projects stretching all the way from Fort Smith, Fort Liard, all the way up north to the Minister's riding. He indicates - which I think is very laudable and the potential, I know, is very great -- up to 800 direct jobs and 1,000 indirect jobs, so I think this is an area that bears much watching. I am concerned, Mr. Speaker, that while we can deal in the next couple of years specifically with individual requests, is there a plan in the department to ensure that we don't give away too much of the resource and find out after the fact that we were too generous in the timber permits that we've given out; not just south of the lake but throughout the Boreal Forest? Thank you.
