Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have done work for the past two years on the Mackenzie Valley pipeline preparation. We have been working in cooperation with DIAND's pipeline readiness office on strategies for impact management, and we're looking at the potential impacts from the increased oil and gas activities in the North. The objective here is, again similar to the mining industry where we have been successful, is trying to ensure that we have long-term benefits to NWT businesses. Of course, we're looking at all the possibilities, including preparation of the pipes and so forth. Those are all possibilities that could evolve out of a good socio-economic agreement with the pipeline company and with the producers. Thank you.
