Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When the BC Hydro people came to Fort Smith a few weeks back, some of the officials said they were very surprised and did not realize the impact of their decisions in jurisdictions downstream from them, especially the distance of the Northwest Territories. There seems to be a significant lack of awareness in other jurisdictions of the significant, not only significant, incredible impact of the decisions made in other jurisdictions on our waterways. Would the Minister also consider possibly hosting a meeting on this kind of issue just to impress upon these folks that this is an issue that is very, very vital and that what they do has a long term impact from the 60th parallel right to the Mackenzie Delta? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
