Merci, Mr. Speaker. I'm very glad to hear that. It used to be a petroleum conference. With the end of petroleum in the Beaufort, maybe it's been refocused. That's great. I'm glad to hear that. We all know that mining is important to our economy, but how can we expect to diversify our economy when most of our attention, if not all of it, is focused on this sector?

The mining industry has extensive influence over what our government is doing and prepared to do in terms of legislation and policy, so what assurance can the Premier give to this House and the public that he will act in the public interest in terms of policy legislation moving forward and not just in the interests of the mining industry? Merci, Mr. Speaker.
