Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In terms of the Mackenzie gas project, there are three fields that we refer to as anchor fields that really have justified the project in the eyes of producers: Parsons Lake, Niglintgak, and Taglu. But I think what you'll see, and we're starting to see this now in the Sahtu region, a lot of exploration and some potential development on the horizon. We have other oil and gas exploration and development and gas flowing south of 60 from the Cameron Hills. So there are other pockets of activity. Our expectation is that once this pipeline, this conduit to market is built, we'll see exploration all up and down the valley. Right now in terms of the known quantity, not taking into account potential offshore, the three anchor fields in the Member's riding are what's really underpinning the economics of this project. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
