Thank you, Madam Chair. Due to an agreement that was reached between the GNWT, Canada and the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation that was concurrent with devolution, there was a requirement for the GNWT to maintain the National Energy Board as the regulator in the ISR and that was mainly due to a desire to have consistency in the regulation of what are called straddling resources that straddle the onshore/offshore boundary. There’s no such need outside of the ISR and there’s no requirement in the Devolution Agreement for the GNWT to retain the federal regulator. So, I guess that’s the answer. There was no requirement in the Devolution Agreement to do that. Thank you.
