Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
It's nice to see you again, Stephen. I have your hat sitting on my desk at home and I wear it proudly.
I also welcome our other guests.
My trip to the Yukon was very interesting. It was my first time there. I certainly appreciate the beauty and some of the issues surrounding the territory.
One of the things that I'd like to understand a little more fully as part of this committee is how the environmental assessments impact economic development. As you know, of course, we're doing this study of economic development. How does that impact the relation to the federal program initiatives and, certainly, the northern territory communities? I'm not sure who wants to jump in on that one.
