Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, communities in my riding and up and down the Mackenzie Valley are being bombarded by visits from the oil companies and exploration companies. They're all coming into the communities and requesting meetings. We really have nobody out there working with them. When the diamond industry moved into this area, a whole new division was created for them. I believe it was under Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development and it was exclusive to the diamond industry and issues in that area. I wonder if something comparable could be done for oil and gas to help out the smaller communities. Thank you.
