Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier regarding the pipeline. Since the meeting in Fort Liard a year and a half ago, there has been a lot of discussion on the pipeline. Our Premier has been very busy lobbying and promoting the pipeline in the North. However, as a Regular MLA, I have not been asked for my input on this issue and there has been no vote taken in this House regarding a pipeline.

Since this Assembly really has no say in the direction of where the pipeline will take place, I would like to ask the Premier, where is he getting his direction from? Who is setting the mandate to actively promote and lobby for a pipeline? Thank you.
