Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development regarding the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act. Presently, through the environmental assessment process, it is clearly identified in there that one of the things they have to look at are the socio-economic impacts on small communities. We have seen the effects on small communities, such as the community of Tsiigehtchic, which I represent, and Trout Lake and other communities.
I would like to ask the Minister, have you had a chance to look at that issue with your department? It has been raised by myself and my colleague, Mr. McLeod, in the House, and also outside the House with yourself and members of the department. I would like to ask the Minister, what have you done to date regarding this matter?
