Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act, being a federal legislation, does have a board, the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board. That is a board that is composed of federal appointees, territorial appointees, and aboriginal appointees. It is a board that is made up of representatives from up and down the valley. They have the very important and tough task of reviewing any development that happens down the valley. Their task is to look at the socio-economic impact.

I have met with the board. We have talked about the issues that were raised here in the House, as well as issues that I have heard from the communities themselves. The representatives on the board are true representatives of people across the valley and they are very receptive to the concerns that are raised out here. It is an independent board that does that work, and yes, we follow up and we will continue to follow up and continue working with the board, because that is their task. Thank you.
