Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this morning, I read an article that said that there is a meeting going on today between the proponents of the pipeline and the Government of Canada. I got to thinking when they mentioned some of the players that were going to be at the meeting, where was the GNWT in this picture, Mr. Speaker? It is happening too much lately that, with all the talk going on with the pipeline, the GNWT continues to be left out of the picture. I read further on in the article that a document was filed with the National Energy Board. They talk about Alberta will be the main beneficiary from the project; 10,245 jobs to Alberta, 3,200 jobs to the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, where is the NWT in all of this? Thanks to the Aboriginal Pipeline Group, we have some stake in it.
