Mr. Speaker, I am amazed that the Member can see this as a gift. I am sure Fred Carmichael and Nellie Cournoyea would disagree. I think the people of the central Mackenzie would disagree, Mr. Speaker. Let's be honest; this could potentially be devastating and we need to work hard to get this project on track. There is a window for delivering Arctic gas, Mr. Speaker. Free LNG being sighted on the continent, we think this project is still economic. There is a need to move forward. There is a need to enlist the federal government's support, as I described in response to Member Groenewegen's questions, but, yes, we are already working to talk about what this will mean for us and how we can respond. We have had phone conversations with some of the northern leaders already. We have had discussions in Cabinet. We will be working diligently, Mr. Speaker, but it is hard for me to find any way to see this as good news. I can't, Mr. Speaker.
