And so is everybody else in the country and the world eligible on an equal footing with northerners. That is the part that the Minister does not get, Mr. Speaker. I have one more question here, Mr. Speaker. We are already seeing jobs and revenues literally flying out of the North, flying out of our communities from the diamond mines. Mr. Speaker, it is astonishing that our government has, in effect, agreed in writing that northerners will have no advantage. Will the Minister be readdressing this betrayal of northerners in further agreements on the Mackenzie Valley pipeline?
