Mr. Speaker, the Minister mentioned, in his answer, that we're talking to the pipeline folks about distribution along the pipeline route, and about powering the pipeline with potential hydro from the Bear River project. When the diamond mines were set up, we weren't quite on our game here. We should have made it a condition, I believe, of diamond mine development that they would take our hydro energy. Can the Minister advise whether we are taking this kind of bold and progressive step with the Mackenzie gas project? Are we looking at making it a condition or a discussion with them, that they will make natural gas available to communities along the pipeline route? Is that a condition of our acceptance of a pipeline, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.
