Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand from some information that I got just a few minutes ago, that there has been some fairly dramatic action over at the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board. A prominent member has been, apparently, dismissed from his duties by federal Minister, Mr. Nault. As a consequence, there is no quorum on this board. This is a critical board to the North and development approvals, Mr. Speaker. I wanted to address a question to the Premier. In partnership with the federal government, can he confirm that this action has been happening and what is the status of development permits now under review at this board? Thank you.
