Mr. Speaker, the Premier and the Minister of Transportation have both had, especially the Premier, a number of conversations. They've spent a lot of time, over the last number of years, lobbying the federal government for infrastructure contributions. I, as well, have dealt with the same Ministers and the Minister of DIAND to talk about the support to the Aboriginal Pipeline Group. We think that this project will bring immense benefits to the people of the North. One way to ensure that those benefits accrue to the North is to have northerners and aboriginal people of the North own the project. So the APG support is critical. It underpins this project, Mr. Speaker, on a number of fronts. We have lobbied actively the federal government to see benefits flow north and talked about how this project can be made more economic. Thank you.
