Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Northwest Territories, especially the Norman Wells oil field, has been pumping oil out of this region for the last 80 years or so. Today, I understand, we have 24,000 barrels that runs through the pipeline each day in the North here. The life expectancy is between 2020 to 2030, give or take a few years. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Premier of the Northwest Territories, in terms of the Northern Strategy, what type of insurance can we expect from this devolution, resource sharing, Northern Strategy, that we don't have a dry bucket to deal with the Norman Wells oil field? I mean, it could run out, and then we could sign a deal. Thank you.
