Thank you, Madam Chair, and welcome to the position.
I'll start off with Mr. Cockney. No one's been asking you questions.
In the past, Jackie Jacobson and I'm sure many others have talked about how resource rich and cash poor the north is. What federal policies do you believe are creating barriers that reduce resource development in the north, and what changes would you propose to better harness the economic potential of the north's natural resources?
