Madam Chair, I bring this up because of the potential of a resource development that's going to be happening between now and the next four or five years down the Mackenzie Valley. A lot of organizations or small businesses will be looking to this government for some leadership. I applaud the Members for the questions because we have to protect our taxpayers, and there are some questions. That's the leadership that we're looking for in this government; to question some of these ventures while also learning from them. We are going to see down the Mackenzie Valley that there are going to be ventures in the Pipeline Group in terms of organizations getting into business. Some of them are going to be pretty shaky, some of them are going to be pretty solid and some of them are going to be pretty good. I've dealt with them in the Sahtu region, and some of the banks are going to want their first born, your second born and your third born. Just give a government born to some of them. That's the way the deal is done.

I want to say that this government...At that time, this may have seemed like a real good deal; it just happened to fall this way and now we have to deal with it. This was done a couple of assemblies ago, and now it's ours and we have to take responsibility and deal with it and look after the taxpayers. So I'm saying there are some new initiatives and a new standard for how this is going to be looked upon by this government. Basically, we have a heads-up on our side in terms of how things are going to be looked at. It's a hard one to swallow, but we have to swallow it and continue on. I'm not going to harp on it so much; I just hope the regions are going to look at potential work along the Mackenzie gas pipeline, and that we have some assurance that this government will continue with the leadership and continue with providing the best kind of programs in terms of getting into ventures like this. I guess that's what I'm looking for from the Minister; assurance that he will continue looking at programs for our regions.
