Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is suggesting that if it is possible, if it is economical, we should try to take some of our own natural resources and make them readily available to our own people here and in the process, lower greenhouse gas emissions and lower the costs of heating fuels. The government would readily agree to that. We would always look for situations, or occasions, or opportunities, where we can do exactly that. If there is such a possibility that it is economical to bring, for instance, natural gas to the city of Yellowknife, economically, we would do everything we can to advance such a scenario. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we know that the companies will not absorb the costs of building pipelines. They will only build pipelines when it is economical to do so. They will invest the necessary hundreds of millions of dollars into building a pipeline infrastructure if they know that they can sell the product that is going to flow through that pipe to consumers, largely in the United States and get their investment paid back to them plus make a profit. The companies will not do it otherwise. That has been the practice of industry. This government does not have the money to invest in pipeline infrastructure of that sort but it is possible to look at opportunities as I have said. The only thing that can be said is, if there is any possibility to arrive at a situation where we can get cleaner burning fuels, cheaper fuels, available to our people, whether it is in Yellowknife or Fort Providence, Hay River, Fort Smith, any of the communities in the North, then of course, we are obliged to do so. We will actively work to do that if such an occasion should arise. Thank you.
