Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister has indicated three years for a time frame for this agreement. I'm asking the Minister, between now and three years in terms of this framework agreement with Alberta, it's almost like a devolution issue here in terms of responsibility for this water issue with the Alberta government. I would like to ask the Minister what interim do we have as northerners to protect our waters, like the recent agreement that the Alberta government or the National Energy Board gave in terms of the Alberta tar sands projects going up? We might see another one next year and the year after. What strong interim measures do we have that would not deplete our quality and quantity of water in the North?
