Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Premier and it goes back to the socio-economic needs of the Territories. Again, I'll mention the fact that the $500 million going to the 22 communities along the pipeline route, they're going to need every dime of it. My worry -- and we talk about the future -- my worry here is the future of our territory. There's no doubt, little doubt, when you build a $9 billion mega project down the heart of our territory, every community is going to be impacted as a result of this development, every last one. The government is going to be faced with cost in education and training, health care, addictions, transportation infrastructure, and really, Mr. Speaker, we haven't got a plan on how we're going to pay for it. So my question is how does the government propose that we pay for the incremental costs of socio-economic impacts in our territory? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
