Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The kinds of things we’re talking about are that northern regulators would conduct the review of applications for authorizations and complete any requirements for hearings or consultations once the proponents conduct additional route alignment studies and detailed engineering. Technical expertise on the regulatory mitigation approaches to addressing air quality, waste management, hazardous materials management, spills planning, and environmental planning issues associated with oil and gas and pipeline construction activities will be required to handle the workload associated with the Mackenzie Gas Project process. Over the past two years ENR has developed the necessary expertise in the existing pipeline environmental officer position and I believe we have to do additional work with regard to the conversion of community gasification. So we would have to develop that and respond within a year once the federal government approves the pipeline project.
