Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have questions today for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. It gets back to my Member’s statement where I was talking about the Mackenzie Gas Project.
I have been a Member now for over six years. I know the government has put a tremendous amount of resources into this project from a staff perspective and also monetarily. I think the government is on the right track. The Minister is on the right track. I know he is doing some good things. I agree with him. I don’t think we can allow anyone to underestimate the importance that this project has to our economic well-being going forward.
Mr. Speaker, there has been much discussion lately about the importance of the federal government to provide the necessary financial commitments to see the Mackenzie Gas Project become a reality. I am wondering if the Minister is aware of the status of those negotiations between the proponents and the federal government.
