Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to make it very clear that I have no issue with the particular individual whose name has shown up on the short list. I'm sure they are a very intelligent person. But the thing is we want people who have a vested interest in how this development is going to impact us for many generations to come here in the North. I think that's the idea of having a northerner. If the federal government and the federal Minister overrules us, I'm sorry, I take it as a slap in the face. What's the Premier prepared to do? Is he prepared to speak to the federal Minister to ensure that our voice is registered on this? Thank you.
