Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No, we have not had extensive details or discussions at the Cabinet level, only that we are indicating that we see the enormous potential for benefits to the North if we move properly, if we move in partnership with our northern peoples and set ourselves up to make sure that we can take advantage of opportunities. At this stage, we will be working with aboriginal groups to let them know of the enormous potential for development activity in the oil and gas sector and find ways to engage that interest and make sure that benefits happen to them. It will be done perhaps in tandem with the development of an economic strategy. Thank you.
