Mr. Speaker, currently the mechanism that we're using at this point is the Mackenzie Valley Development Planning Unit within Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development and they have been trying the best they can to try and be the central source for gathering information on oil and gas in the Northwest Territories. They have been providing the information to other departments and trying to get information to the community groups. We've been working with the producer groups as well as the pipeline groups and other interested parties. It's a main point of contact within the government at this point and hopefully through the exercise that I mentioned of a deputy ministers' workshop, this point will be raised that the Member has said and perhaps it will be another form that may evolve out of it. But it's a Cabinet approved direction that we use this unit at this stage in the whole process of the development of the pipeline. Thank you.
