Thank you, Madam Chair. Just on a related topic with respect to the Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline project, our government is underway on the initial stages of developing a socioeconomic impact agreement. Perhaps the Minister can let me know at what stage they are at with this, because some of the input that I am getting back from the communities is that, hey, we want a say in how our government develops a socioeconomic agreement. We want input. So I am thinking, okay, are we going to do some public consultation as to the type of socioeconomic agreement we are going to have? I see it like a growing thing, Madam Chair. Particularly, the first pipeline project with Norman Wells, with Imperial, at that time, is that we did have a socioeconomic agreement there but it lacked teeth. I think that is the word we are using these days. It lacked any bite. It was just kind of there saying, okay, you guys be nice to communities. They did it for a few years and then started withdrawing
services and helping out the communities. Nobody ever said anything. Okay, well, we will keep taking away services from the communities. Pretty soon, they are just there and they are not doing anything for our communities. The Enbridge pipeline now is just there. It has jobs and they are buying some materials from the communities, but if you really look at it, they are not providing any impact benefits at all. It has been there for almost 20 years. I still think that they got it for free. Industry sees that and they want this next pipeline project for free, too. I am not going to give it to them. I will do everything I can to stand in the way to make sure that our communities benefit today and for the long term. Just learning from our experience too from the diamond resources, our socioeconomic agreements have some bite but maybe not enough. This new socioeconomic agreement that our government is obligated to negotiate with them -- RWED or ITI being the lead department on this -- I would like to see something firm, something solid for our future. I will just leave that with you, Madam Chairperson. I would like the Minister to comment upon where we are going with our socioeconomic agreement, in terms of the Mackenzie Valley gas pipeline project. Thank you.
