Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the answer is very simple: the more likelihood that the pipeline will be built. This letter was one last piece that was needed in order for the pipeline to move along to the next step in public hearings. Mr. Speaker, if that pipeline goes ahead, we get a lot; and I've mentioned before a list of things that we get, starting with the jobs, and the contracts, and the supply and material, the housing, the $500 million, which is, in some cases, bigger than what the land claim groups got. We get a lot from this project and I'm proud that we were able to provide a bit of certainty for those who want to invest over $7.5 billion in our territory. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
