Thanks for that clarification. I understand that the Minister of ITI is the new regulator for oil and gas in the NWT, and I understand now that we are contracting out to NEB and the industry-led regulator from Alberta, which has the atrocious environmental record that we all hear about every day on the radio, and the coal dam breach and slurry going down the Athabasca River heading for the NWT, and what did we hear the other day, six million litres a day coming out of one reservoir perched on the edge of the Athabasca River, and all this, you know, people with cancer. This is the regulator that were contracting with, all of which has been done without one iota of input from committee.
I have a lot of questions. Who will have what authority? What responsibility? What will the role of the Members be in decision-making? How will you be reassuring the public that they will have input and how will you be providing them the opportunity for input and a transparent process? Basically this unit is not even in here, but we find out that the
dollars are. We’re buying a pig in a poke. This should not be in this budget. Talk about seamless and prepared. I don’t think so. How can you have half of it in here and half of it not with no input from Members? I’ll start with that.
