Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You are absolutely correct. It is a federal issue on labour, but we, as the Government of the Northwest Territories has an interest because those are NWT residents who are on strike. The mine is located in the Northwest Territories. As a government, we have already established a task force of senior GNWT officials. Deputy Minister, Don Cooper of Justice, is chairing that task force and Joe Handley, as well as Penny Ballantyne, Ron Williams and Judy Langford are also on that task force to keep us appraised of the issues of the strike. My understanding is that Mr. Cooper has already been in touch with the union as well as with the company to get information on the issues concerning the strike. Thank you.
