Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement I alluded to questions as to what our government's position is on a number of major potential, some more imminent than others, on the Alberta side of the border. In light of the tremendous impact this could have on the Northwest Territories, I'd like the Minister responsible for the environment to detail for us what some of the positions that our government has taken with... Let's talk about the tar sands specifically. We know that there's been an approval process that's been underway and that the Alberta government has basically been given a green light to issue permits and licences to proceed with this expansion. I would like to know what role our government had, if any, in those discussions and what legal right, I guess, we have to participate in that. Thank you.
