Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To better understand the potential impacts of the project, we are relying quite a bit on the environmental impact statement filed by the proponents. In taking that, and using that, regional groups have used it. Land claim organizations, obviously, in their negotiation of access and benefits, which I am sure, although we are not privy to those agreements, speak to business opportunities, training opportunities, in addition to cash for access. But we are also using this document to help us frame up a socio-economic agreement that would be an over-arching umbrella document and agreement that will speak to training opportunities and benefits that we think should accrue to northerners.
Mr. Speaker, even in advance of that work, there are a number of initiatives underway. The Department of Education is our lead on the Pipeline Operators Training course. There are other training initiatives through the ASEP program that are already moving forward. I think there is a lot of good work underway. The Member is absolutely correct; if we are going to see the benefits of this project accrue to northerners, we are going to have to be ready, prepared and trained in order to be able to take advantage of those. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
