Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think we have been quite clear that this is really step one in our approach to dealing with this immense project. We know it will need further resources in the regions that will be affected by this pipeline and by this development up and down the valley and we have to have an approach and strategy. I am relying very heavily on our joint Cabinet/Regular Member committee to provide much of that direction on how we adequately resource the regions.
As well, I know the Member is aware that I have written to regional leadership to discuss this issue as well, and to solicit input from regional leadership on how we might approach this. But, Mr. Speaker, with all due respect, I think I can state categorically that Hay River will be severely impacted by the development of this pipeline. The impacts on infrastructure in Hay River, because of its location as a logical hub for logistics and transportation, will be immense. It does make sense in my mind to have resources on the ground in Hay River. Does that preclude or mean that we don't need to resource the other communities up and down the valley? No, it doesn't, Mr. Speaker, and we will certainly be working on that in the coming months. Thank you.
