Madam Speaker, as I have already said, our government takes its obligation to consult very seriously. As the hon. member for Edmonton—Strathcona knows, the Crown has a legal obligation to carry out consultations and to provide assistance if a project could potentially compromise ancestral treaty rights. That is exactly what we are doing.
We take our obligation to consult very seriously. The northern gateway pipeline is at the environmental assessment and environmental impact review stage. This review includes consultation with aboriginals, which is exactly what the government is committed to doing. We will fulfill that obligation.
