On April 1, 2014, this government made a commitment to the people of the Northwest Territories to devolve and then evolve. We have been at this for just over a year, it is an evolution process. We are continuing to work on a process, and I know the Member is saying we should ask that question right up front. The process isn’t even halfway through. Yesterday in this House I committed to giving us as much time as we need. We are going to take to the end of August to get public comment.
We are going to go through this process, and Members on that side of the House seem to want to pre-empt that entire process and ask that question. Let us finish the work that we start, then we can ask that question.
In response to some of the other comments I heard from Ms. Bisaro, she said we’re going to do this at any cost. We are not going to use the process of hydraulic fracturing at any cost, and I never said that in this House and I have never said that publicly, so I take offence to some of the comments from the Regular Members that we’re going to do this at any cost.
It’s not going to be at any cost. Like I said yesterday in response to some other questions, if you’re going to be in the energy business, like I believe the Northwest Territories is going to be in the energy business, you better be looking after the environment and we intend to do just that. Thank you.
