Mr. Speaker, our interests as a territorial government are within the areas of training, employment, contracting and so on. We are taking the lead on negotiating a socioeconomic agreement. As was the case with the communities in the areas impacted by mining, any impact benefit agreements that they were negotiating were issues that were really within their jurisdictions, so we did not contribute financially to any of the negotiations for those impact benefit agreements. That was something they worked out between themselves and the federal government, and I expect that expectation would be the same in the case of the pipeline. Thank you.
