Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is nothing that prevents us from making such suggestions, but at this time it is all hypothetical. There is no significant finds for hundreds of miles from Yellowknife. The closest is, as I say, in the Liard area which is a long ways from Yellowknife. Seventeen thousand people, at this time, is not a significant number in population size to warrant making it economical. But at some time in the future, if there is such a case where there is a significant find close to Yellowknife, of course, it is possible that governments and communities can insist some of that resource should be made available to neighbouring communities for the benefit of northern people. Thank you.
