Mr. Chair, the north has been a particular focus for our government since taking power, and it can be argued that there has not been as much emphasis on the north and our great territory since the Diefenbaker government, which is something my constituents are very grateful for. Whether it is Yukon, Northwest Territories or Nunavut, we have certainly been investing in infrastructure and in responsible development of our resources.
Can the minister talk a bit about the strong support that our government has shown, as well as the economic potential for the north?
