Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to the witnesses for appearing here today.
Talking about resource extraction in the north, certainly there have been some issues in terms of pretty heavy fluctuation in commodity prices, particularly in a downward area. That obviously has impacted not just the north but across the country as a whole. Maybe you could tell us what the department's current role is in terms of that extraction in the north and how it is likely to change with the new agency being involved.
