Thank you, Mr. Chair. I look forward to this policy framework as the Minister has indicated. There are certainly different levels of discussion we could have at that time. I am glad that the territorial government is putting together a process where these socio-economic agreements would have some strength in terms of ensuring that these agreements are strong so that the people could abide by them and have some benefits come to our Northwest Territories communities.
The other issue is one I heard on CBC this morning in regards to communities going to be impacted by the Mackenzie gas project in terms of the resources of natural gas. I know he has something here in terms of energy planning. Is there any type of recommendation that will be coming by his department in regards to some direction, guidance and leadership in terms of looking at the natural gas and oil? They said there was going to be some huge cost in terms of converting communities and homes into using natural gas. In the North, there was some talk about hydro development in my region. However, there are other communities that, if hydro doesn't fall through in our region, there is always the option of using natural gas. Is there any type of discussion paper coming forward from his department in terms of the use of natural gas, and any type of support he may be giving to communities in terms of supporting this option? Thank you.
