Mr. Speaker, I think it’s critically
important that this government does everything it can, like it has with the diamond industry, to promote and enhance that industry to make everyone aware that we have an opportunity here to really do some good work and work with industry along with government and the residents of the Northwest Territories.
I’d like to ask the Minister: exactly what is this government doing to promote the oil and gas development in the Beaufort Sea, similar to what we did with the diamond industry?
