Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mine is more of a comment to identify and compliment the department's maintaining of some additional resources for petroleum resources. Although the commodity prices are way down and the market demand is way down, the resource is still here. I think it is comforting to know that the department is still maintaining some allowance for presence.

If we were to view a couple of the advocating trips that I made in promoting our Northern resources by assisting in support of the application for the repair program of the pipeline repair in Fort Simpson, which has a budget of $53 million, now, given the fact that it is looking like it is going to be approved and everything looks fine with the permitting regulatory process, then you come back and say, "Okay, well, look at the numbers on the program detail." You have allowed quite consistently, based on the mains of 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, of 1.4. I would say that is a pretty good return to promote your northern resources, given the fact that some presence from the Inuvik Petroleum Office was there in Fort Simpson doing the same thing.

I would just point that out to say that I think we should maintain some sort of petroleum allowance, whether it is having staff here in the North and whether it is going to the petroleum show in Calgary. As long as we are maintaining a presence, I think it will show industry that we are in support. Thank you.
