Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act is an act that is in place to look at the land and the water in the Mackenzie River area, when development comes in there.

There are provisions in there that we are fully aware of. We have been currently dealing with the producer group, the Mackenzie Delta Producers Group, indicating that there has to be a socio-economic agreement. Hopefully, that deals with the social and cultural aspect of the act the honourable Member is quoting.

Yes, we are familiar with it and we are doing whatever we can to represent people in the North when it comes to dealing with the producer groups.

As for the numerous other smaller exploration and drilling companies, that is a little more difficult to push this idea there, but with the producer groups, we have undertaken dialogue with them regarding a socio-economic agreement. Thank you.
