Thirty years ago, Thomas Berger put a moratorium on pipeline development. That was the best thing he ever did, I think, for the people of the Northwest Territories. It gave us an opportunity to get into the picture, take advantage of some of the opportunities. The Inuvialuit, the Gwich'in and the people of the Sahtu have seized that opportunity and put themselves in a position where they could see some benefit from the pipeline for them and the people that they represent.
Mr. Speaker, I will have questions later on for the Minister of ITI or the Premier. I am going to need to know where we are at the table, if we are at the table. Mr. Speaker, this pipeline talk and all of the politics surrounding it across the Northwest Territories is just getting a little out of hand. This pipeline is being used as leverage in land claims talks and it is not acceptable. We could stay at home, sit on our hands and wait for money to fall from the skies, but no. There are people out there. I represent a lot of them that do plan on going out there, seizing the opportunity, seeing what they can benefit out of this pipeline. I want to make sure that the people that I represent and people in the Northwest Territories, as a whole, benefit from the construction of this pipeline. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
