Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is quite correct. There is an uptick in interest in the Northwest Territories, on the mineral resource side in particular. In the past year, since I have had this portfolio, I have had conversations with a number of proponents interested and existing ones that are here in the Northwest Territories. They have sent me numerous letters about carbon tax and the sorts of things and infrastructure needs that we need to address in this territory to make it viable.

They are quite happy that we are moving forward with our Mineral Resources Act. That is one piece of the legislation that we need to address as a territory through devolution, and we want to have a predictable northern design regulatory process to be able to address these concerns moving forward to make a viable industry. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
