Thank you, Madam Chair. I've got some issues with the $50,000 that is proposed to contract a financial consultant to complete a cost analysis of the measures needed to mitigate the health and social impacts of the Mackenzie gas project. I think there might be some good work there, but it's kind of like pinning a tail on a donkey. There never has been an $8 billion pipeline built in this territory, and I don't know how anybody going out to try to do this work would get any type of data to start it. Where do you start, and how do you even know what the costs are going to be and what the mitigating factors are going to be when it's never been built? I don't know why it's being proposed, to be quite honest with you, Madam Chair, and I'd like to hear from, if not the Minister of Finance, the Minister responsible for that. Thank you.
