Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We're working to develop a socioeconomic agreement. The Joint AOC/Cabinet Pipeline Planning Committee is driving much of that process and providing the strategic direction for our department in terms of negotiating that socioeconomic agreement. It is in the early stages. We're laying out an agreed-upon process for doing that. So there are many areas, legacy infrastructure, business opportunities, training and employment opportunities. We're going through the whole range and I can assure the Member that in each of these topic areas, each of these priority areas we are looking at any option that makes any kind of sense. Starting from that basis, if we have to rule things out upon further research, we'll do that, but we're not ignoring anything. If the Member has any suggestions or thoughts or constituents bring thoughts to him, certainly bring them to our attention and we'd like to work with committee to pursue these issues. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
