Mr. Speaker, I am aware of this particular situation. My officials have met with the landowners. There is a way for them to deal with this if they are not able to get an agreement. It is through the National Energy Board Act, subsection 87(3), where there is a legal recourse for these farmers if they feel they are not getting a fair agreement with the pipeline company. I understand they are pursuing that legal avenue.
