Mr. Chairman, if everything stayed the same as it is today and there were no new developments, then likely we would have none coming forward. The oil and gas activities are speeding up very quickly. We are not at all sure what is happening with the Aboriginal Pipeline Group and their application.

We do not know what arrangements communities may come up with, or regions may come up with as partnerships with oil and gas companies. We do not know what investments companies might choose to make in areas like training. There are a whole bunch of unknowns out there.

It is very difficult to predict what may come forward in the next few months or come forward at times when we cannot fit it into our business cycle. When these things come, we have to take advantage of them. We cannot wait a year to build them into a business plan or we will lose the opportunity. It is practically impossible to predict what might come in the future.

If the Aboriginal Pipeline Group goes ahead and we get an application for a pipeline, then things could move very quickly.

Through the Non-Renewable Resource Strategy and our economic strategy, we do have an overall approach that we are taking, but we cannot predict each of these expenditures.
