The challenge is coming up with the money to develop the infrastructure to provide the resource exports that are beneficial to this country.
My answer to your question is, impose a sense of coordination as part of the terms and conditions of some of these projects when they're being approved. It's not just doing business in the north, it's living in the north, which is very expensive.
Take for example the Mary River mine project. Those large ships that I showed going back and forth to Europe are empty coming in this direction. They will be carrying resupply for the mines year-round. They will be carrying fuel for the mines year-round. Should they not also be carrying community resupply year-round? They could provide a load centre of some sort right in the north, as opposed to having to wait until summer, and most of these communities get a single sealift delivery once a year.
There are ways that the governments could come in—not just the federal government, but the territorial governments as well—to take a broader look at what some of these infrastructure projects that are going to be privately financed might do to improve exactly what you're talking about, the cost of doing business and living in the north, on a broader perspective than just the resource development project itself.
