Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in follow-up to Mr. Braden's questions about the reference to northern residency in the socio-economic agreement, I am at a bit of a loss to understand exactly what the issue is, but I think, for the benefit of the public, we should try to bring it to light. In developing the socio-economic agreement, the Minister must have used his experience and knowledge of former agreements of this nature and also probably some legal advice as to what could be included in this agreement. As a background, can the Minister tell us if he knows of any reason why a resource development company operating in the North desperate for skilled and unskilled labour in a highly competitive labour market would not consider a capable northern candidate to be a prime candidate for employment in their operations here in the North? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
