Mr. Speaker, certainly those are all good questions. But we also have to work with our neighbours, because a lot of development protection and so on affects geographical areas. So if you take the Mackenzie River basin, for example, it takes in the Yukon, B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories. We do work with them, but we need to know where they stand as well. We need to know what their development plans are. So it's bigger than just us as a territory developing our own in isolation as if we were an island on our own. I think the Member is very aware of the approach that it has to be more than us. I've certainly championed the idea of a western energy strategy, a western energy alliance and so on, as a way of dealing with these broader issues than just our territory.
