Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Minister spoke of, you know, a significant number of jobs, probably hundreds, thousands potentially, with all three of these projects, millions of dollars in opportunity, perhaps billions if it leads to an explosion of exploration activities and development in a mineral rich area that would be opened up through Slave Geological Province, for example. We know the Mackenzie Valley Highway is in -- or is a critical need for the territory with the effects of climate change harming marine resupply up the Mackenzie Valley -- or the Mackenzie River. And, of course, Taltson is the key to the government's clean energy future. So it seems to me that all the three projects here are almost nation building projects that have -- that can, you know, in terms of bang-for-your-buck investments, these are very well thought out. These have had a lot of time and attention by very smart people who work for our government and have been shepherding these over years, by very capable Ministers as well, and I see no reason why we should be picking and choosing winners and losers here. There isn't a limited cap of political capital you can take to the well in Ottawa. If you have a willing partner in the federal government, I'm sure we could get a lot of these things funded, especially if they're northern minded and want to do some nation building. I can only think if the Mackenzie Valley pipeline had gone a different way, the kind of economic activity that could have been opened up in the Northwest Territories, the kind of major infrastructure that would have come in as well, would have been transformative. We might not be in a have-not region of the country with that -- with something that opened up the region and resource development as well and enriched everyone down that transportation corridor. And when I think of something like the Slave Geological Province, that's what I think it could be. I think of the benefits that could go to the Akaitcho, to the Tlicho, to Nunavut groups, to people in the Northwest Territories generally. And if there's opportunities for sealift, if there's opportunities for marine supply, that's -- that could be a game changer too. You know, these are creative solutions to the infrastructure deficit we have. I know the Minister's very passionate about this, and I just wanted to indicate I very much lend my support to these projects. And it is a bit disappointing that, you know, we have -- oftentimes we are very critical, and Members of this committee are for critical of these projects, when I think we should be embracing them fully and finding ways to make them happen instead of, again, picking winners and losers. So the Minister doesn't have to comment, but I think it's important that we continue to prioritize these projects as a government and we get them done as soon as possible because we don't want to be looking back 60 years later at what could have been, at another Mackenzie Valley pipeline. Thank you.
