Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Premier. It is in regard to the statement I made about oil and gas and the concerns I have raised. We have to do more to improve the education and more to meet the requirements that are going to be needed to take on the opportunities that will come from oil and gas development. Also, we must ensure we have the resources to improve the facilities and infrastructure in the Mackenzie Delta-Beaufort Sea region.
With that, Mr. Speaker, I would like to rephrase this question to the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. Is this government committed to do what it has done for the diamond industry with the oil and gas industry? For example, putting somewhere in the neighbourhood of $12 million into the diamond industry for training and developing a secondary industry, and also providing dollars and guarantees to businesses. Will the Minister tell us if he is willing to go that far for the oil and gas industry?
