Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated in my Member's statement, I am very concerned about the issue of benefits from the Mackenzie Valley pipeline being effectively responded to by our government. A lot of attention has been paid to the aspect of ownership interest in the pipeline by aboriginal community governments. I am certain that in the long run this will prove to be a worthy investment. I think in the short term, we can't forget the array of other potential benefits to our people. My question is for the Premier. In light of the federal government's initiative to appoint a special committee, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister, mandated to guide issues in relation to the pipeline, what has our government done to ensure that this development proceeds in an orderly fashion, addressing all the potential opportunities or concerns that a development of this magnitude involves? Thank you.
