Mr. Speaker, as I have said, this will have to be through an application through the Mackenzie Valley environmental review process. That means it will go to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board, the Environmental Impact Review Board. There is an opportunity for interveners to state any concerns they may have. Those boards will make a recommendation to the Minister of DIAND. The Minister of DIAND will have to make a decision. So who has the authority on the recommendations from the Mackenzie Valley process will be the Minister of DIAND. He will do that in consultation with federal Ministers who also have jurisdiction in this area, including Fisheries and Oceans and Environment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
