Thank you. Since we’re dealing with
10-19 and 10-20, there are a number of reductions that have been suggested — sorry. Strategic initiatives. This is being added in. There’s the Mackenzie Gas Project. The information the committee received suggests that there’s a pipeline regulatory specialist and that there are also legal services for NEB participation and oil and gas socio-economic agreement contributions.
My questions. All of this is related to the Mackenzie Gas Project and particularly to the NEB hearings joint review panel report and sort of the whole provision of reporting and information and so on for the Mackenzie Gas Project. With the joint review panel report not being expected until January or February of ’09, to me there’s basically no activity in this particular area. I’d like to get some explanation from the department, from the Minister, as to why we should be extending some $350,000 on the Mackenzie Gas Project when it doesn’t seem to me there’s anything we need to spend the money on.
