Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on the matter of resource development we often hear a lot of anecdotal information about how long it takes to process applications to do things in the Northwest Territories compared to Alberta, for example. One of the other things that we hear is that, or that we know, is our environmental review process panels are appointed, to a large extent, by the federal government and there have been instances recently where positions have been left vacant by the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs and this could become a contributing factor to delays in incumbents as people wanting to undertake resource companies, wanting to undertake resource development in the Northwest Territories. I would like to ask the appropriate Minister, and I'm not sure who that is, what is the status right now of the membership of qualified northerners on these review panels as appointed by the federal Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
