Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if the City of Yellowknife agrees, the

Yellowknives Dene agrees, and if it fits within the Department of Transportation's plan overall, I certainly would support it. We have a lot of work to do yet on this issue. We have to have a lot of discussion. We have to develop a process where everybody is satisfied that their interests are being taken care of and that's what my focus is right now. We're nowhere near approving anybody's applications. There are a number of applications out there that we have to deal with. At this point we have granted permission to do some early seismic work in that area; that's what it is limited to. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
