Mr. Speaker, we have an obligation to everybody in the Territories. We are the public government for the Territories. Mr. Speaker, the $500 million, no matter how we might want to characterize it, is money meant for those communities along the Mackenzie Valley pipeline route. It is there specifically for socioeconomic mitigation.
Mr. Speaker, we always take into consideration the needs of the other communities. We will, and have been, looking after the needs of all communities to the best of our ability, given our resources. We have, where there is major development, entered into socioeconomic agreements. We have them with the mines, and we will have one with the pipeline, as well. That socioeconomic agreement is there to protect the rights of all people in the Territories. It is not limited just to the communities impacted. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
