Mr. Chairman, the Mackenzie River Basin Board is a board that is very important to us. There's cooperation with Yukon, B.C., Alberta and the Saskatchewan governments in looking at the ecosystem. As you know, the Mackenzie River is a huge river basin. The headwaters are in all the different provinces and the other territory is mentioned. So there is a working relationship there. We have representation on there that expresses all these concerns. There is monitoring going on on the Bennett Dam, as well as on global warming in the North. There definitely are changes to our weather system and, as a result, it has an impact on our waters. We're very concerned about the quality of the water and the flow. Certainly this board was put in place to look at all aspects of it, and I think it will continue to play a bigger role in the future. Thank you.
