The bottom line remains that these are our resources. They’re located in the Northwest Territories. Once this pipeline is built the residents in the Northwest Territories are going to have to live with that piece of infrastructure in our Territory for decades to come. It would seem to me that our government has an obligation, on behalf of everybody here in the Northwest Territories, to get a seat at that table. If the federal government is throwing around all this cash, aren’t we going to get anything out of the fact that that pipeline is going to be located in the Mackenzie Valley in the Northwest Territories? What price is our government going to put on that piece of infrastructure being constructed in our Territory for the future of our residents?
