Mr. Speaker, this whole process has been identified as being very cumbersome, and we all know that and we've been relaying that information to the federal Minister. Again, it's federal legislation and we are a stakeholder in this whole area. We don't have control of our resources, and perhaps through devolution, down the line, we will gain control of that and we will be in the driver's seat at that time. But for the time being, in the case of the pipeline, for a number of years there has been work with the different regulatory agencies to try to streamline the process of approval of this project through the Environmental Impact Review Board. There is work being done currently to try to find a way to have this thing go as quickly as possible. I think there is agreement between the agencies, to try to speed this whole process up. Thank you.
