Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank the Member for his questions. Over the past seven months, related to the MGP, I’ve been speaking directly with industry. I’ve been meeting with the APG, and we continue to support the APG. I believe, as a government, we have to remain optimistic. We have to remain positive. It’s a matter of when that project does go ahead. The key mandate of the office is to work with communities, to explain opportunities to communities, to explain the regulatory process and help build capacity.

When the Member was talking about the $500 million socio-economic funds that the feds had said they would provide to communities impacted by the pipeline, that money, obviously, is not set to flow to communities until such a time as the decision to construct that project goes ahead. When that does happen, that’s when that money would flow. But obviously, with a project of this size and magnitude there’s lot of opportunities that would avail themselves for people up and down the Mackenzie Valley. Thank you.
