Thank you, Mr. Chairman. At this time, I will be very brief. I wish to emphasize the Minister's statement, recognizing the area of tourism as a vital component of the economy, although I will not go into it at length and I'm sure he will appreciate that. He has already heard from me a couple times in regard to my concerns about investment in Aichi, Japan, with expo.
I do want to say my support for the leadership provided at this time with the division of RWED, and, therefore, it will help establish a clear mandate for the industry and tourism side. The only thing I would like to stress at this time beyond that, other than looking forward for the BDIC Act to come forward, into full implementation, I am looking forward to the opportunity where we can truly discuss about the Territories taking full control or becoming a full partner in the Mackenzie gas project.
What I would like to hear from the Minister is how he envisions from the legislative point of view, whereas the Territories people can help maximize those benefits. As I see it, legislation will be our key and if it's simply a legislation mechanism, such as legislation clearly draws out that gas coming down the pipeline has to be tied in by industry, things of that nature, that's the type of thing that would inspire me. I want to see us being able to maximize our benefits and I would kind of like to hear some of the Minister's thoughts in that regard about us maximizing these.
I would like to see what he has envisioned, taken those words a little further, so maybe we can help see some of this. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
