It is important to note that we're an alignment of three aboriginal groups in the Mackenzie Valley. The aboriginal groups actually approached our other partners--Imperial Oil, ConocoPhillips, Shell, and ExxonMobil--prior to an application even being filed for the pipeline project.
The genesis of APG goes back to the 1980s and the settlement of the land claims up there that allowed the aboriginal groups to put a priority on economic development. In January 2000, Chief Harry Deneron called a meeting in Fort Liard of the aboriginal leaders in the Northwest Territories. He declared that if there was another pipeline built in the Mackenzie Valley, the aboriginal people would want to have a part in it. That meeting and subsequent negotiations with our partners led to us having a full one-third partnership in the Mackenzie Valley pipeline.
