Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in regard to the Mackenzie Valley pipeline preparation, there has been a lot of work done by this government in cooperation with DIAND's pipeline readiness office. Of course we are very concerned about it. Our objective here is trying to maximize the long-term benefits out of any resource development, including the pipeline. Our message has been consistently clear with the producers in the oil and gas pipeline companies.

To that end, we've been having workshops with our deputy ministers of all the departments. The objective is to work on an effective cooperative model to clearly define what kind of proactive actions it would take and respond to this Mackenzie Valley pipeline. There are a lot of things going on, a lot of work going into the whole project. We're beginning to know what it's going to take to build this pipeline in terms of the jobs and different business opportunities there. Our work in government is to try to find out what all these different possibilities are and try to have a good strategic approach on this. Thank you.
