Mr. Speaker, yes. Aurora Research Institute for a number of years now has worked with different parties — industries — most recently with Mallik gas hydrate. It’s joined forces with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation. They have contributed a substantial amount of funding toward this particular investment in the North since 2006 up to 2009, and they’ve continued to show interest.

Even before that, near Inuvik they’re well known worldwide as a test site for gas hydrate. There have been some previous international projects completed in that area in 1998 and 2002. So it is well known internationally that this is a test site and the research in the North for the Arctic.
