Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, when I look at the -- at oil and gas, you know, and I look at where it is, it's pretty well straight down the Mackenzie Valley into the Arctic Ocean, and further than that. And, you know, there was a lot of exploration back in the '80s, you know, '70s, '80s, and a little bit here in the last -- last while around -- around I guess maybe Inuvik a bit and in the Sahtu as well. But, you know, when I think about -- about the impact of this is that it may be an opportunity to open up some highways and push them a little -- a little quicker to get -- get some of that work done. So has the department, I guess, had any discussions with Indigenous groups with respect to, you know, potential for oil and gas activities in their areas? Thank you.
