Thank you.
I'm a little surprised at the anti-oil-industry tone that I'm hearing from members opposite, especially given how important the industry is to our country and how it's brought so many communities out of poverty.
In a previous life I did some work in the Mackenzie Valley, biological research, back in the early days of the Mackenzie Valley pipeline, an environmental study, and did spend some time in those communities. It's been a long time since I've been there, but I don't think much has changed in Inuvik from even the seventies until now.
I'm really interested in the socio-economic research that you've done. You talked about it a few times. In your dealings with the communities, do you see a desire by them for increased economic development that both a hydrocarbon exploration industry and a hydrocarbon extraction industry would bring? How do the communities feel about that?
