Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The town of Norman Wells was told that Imperial Oil were going to reduce their gas consumption in terms of supplying the town of Norman Wells. They were shocked that Imperial Oil said the reduction will be zero. Now that causes a huge crisis in my community of Norman Wells, in the region. Then Imperial Oil says, come on you guys, the pipeline is a good thing for us, sign on and let's do something. How does Imperial Oil drag the people of Norman Wells through this, I don't know what to call it, Mr. Speaker, but I'm asking can this government here demand to have the president of Imperial Oil come up here and meet with the Town of Norman Wells, meet with us and say is this how Imperial Oil does business with people in the Northwest Territories and hold them hostage to the community of Norman Wells? Thank you.
