Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement today I talked about the Mackenzie gas project, about the fact that from the information that's being put out in the media that this project is marginal, that in fact there's other sources of national gas. There's LNG from other countries that, in fact, the product that we would ship would be double per unit of some other sources of natural gas. Mr. Speaker, this is all very interesting, but when that is going to be used as the springboard and the basis for which these companies are now going to go to Ottawa to seek subsidies or incentives or inducements in order to keep the pipeline, I think it's important that this government have a position on that. We may not be able to entirely affect the end result, but I think our government should have a position on that, because fundamentally I have a problem with it and I think this government should as well, but I'll wait to hear what the Minister has to say about that and ask if there are other ways that the federal government could direct money that would be more beneficial to northerners than helping these large corporations. Thank you.
