Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions this afternoon are for Mr. Bell, the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. It relates to another fascinating bit of news out of the national scene today, Mr. Speaker, that the federal government is now looking at taking up a 20 percent stake in the Mackenzie Valley pipeline project. Potentially seen as a way of appeasing the proponent's demands for a different financial arrangement in this project, those fiscal problems are seen as a major barrier, right now, to whether or not this project goes through. My question, Mr. Speaker, is, does the Government of the Northwest Territories have a position on this amazing new development out of Ottawa relating to the pipeline? Thank you.
