Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. My question is on the socio-economic agreements in the Northwest Territories. I want to be very clear for my people in the Mackenzie Valley in terms of the socio-economic agreements, Mr. Speaker, in terms of when the diamond mines were opened down at this end of the country here, were the Mackenzie Valley communities invited to sit down and ask for a portion of the impact benefit agreements that have been negotiated as so much being enjoyed by the communities who rightly deserve them? I want to ask that. Do we have a chance to tap into the diamond mines as the request has been from some of the Members to tap into the Mackenzie gas pipeline economic funds?
