Mr. Speaker, again, I don't know how many times I have to stress this, but this project is a no-go without a pipeline. We have been talking to all the players involved in the pipeline. That includes the Mackenzie gas project themselves. We are looking at the Aboriginal Pipeline Group. We are talking to the aboriginal communities that are affected, and the leadership in those communities, so that they can see for themselves exactly how they are going to be involved in this project, and how they can benefit from this project. I think for so long, Mr. Speaker, we have seen projects come and go in which we do not see any benefits to communities and people in those affected areas. Again, Mr. Speaker, this is an opportunity that we have by way of this $8 billion project that we are hoping to be able to deal with the social crisis we have in our communities. We have heard it from all the Members. We have heard it when committees made their presentations. We heard in the House the crisis that we have by way of housing in the Northwest Territories. The biggest impact of those crises is in the Mackenzie Valley. This is a perfect opportunity for us, Mr. Speaker, to be able to find solutions to these housing crises that we are facing, and an opportunity to really make a difference in regard to how housing will be delivered in the Northwest Territories but, more importantly, to those communities that are affected. With that, Mr. Speaker, thank you.
