Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is on some of the statements in the sessional statement presented by our Premier. I’d like to start by briefly saying that we want to “develop our vast oil and natural gas resources as
soon as possible to the maximum benefit of Northerners.”
To me this is an absolute oxymoron; this is the definition of an oxymoron. They do not go together. We have no ability to levy royalties and so on. Can the Premier explain to me where he sees the truth in that statement?
