Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Member is right. In past governments, a significant amount of resources and work went into the Energy Strategy. I believe the Member also remembered the Robertson report. I don't think that is the actual name of the report. Currently, from discussions in the House the other day, I reported back on the work of the Western Energy Alliance and the work that is going to be undertaken by that body in terms of developing public policy, doing supply analysis, and having some discussion around regulatory issues for the entire western and northern region going forward. So there is a lot of work that I believe we can build on here. There is no sense ignoring much of what we have done in embarking on expensive consultation and spending millions and millions of dollars to do that. I assure the Member that is not my intent. We will build on the work that we have done, but there is a policy vacuum in this area, and we are seeking to ensure that that is no longer the case and we step in and fill the void. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
