Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member has a good point and it's an issue that this government is quite aware of and is working to make sure that we keep in mind whenever we talk about issues like development in the North. In fact, the special joint committee on the pipeline, it's part of its mandate to provide direction to the government on the negotiation of a SEA, and issues such as this are certainly the sort of thing that we want to see talked about during the negotiation with companies in the socioeconomic agreements. So we will make sure that we keep this sort of thing in mind. The government also has made sure that the bringing together of the social envelope Ministers, that when we meet we bring in the special advisor to the Minister responsible for the Status of Women, to make sure that we are always reminded that we keep issues of gender equity on the table. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
