Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The negotiations -- and we're in the middle of tough negotiations right now with the federal government on resource revenue sharing and devolution -- are negotiations between us and the federal government and aboriginal government. Those are not negotiations with the pipeline proponents. Mr. Speaker, they could give us a statement of support, I suppose, but I don't think they want to do that politically. I don't think they'd want to get into that. They're in the business of developing oil and gas pipelines and will stay with that. They will leave the politics to us and they've made that very clear to us, that they have no role in discussions we have with the federal government and don't intend to get into it. Thank you.
