It just seems that given the agreement that we have apparently signed, it is essentially the agreement from the proponents, I would suggest that the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Office has a lot of work they could be doing towards an improved socio-economic agreement before the project goes ahead. Is there the expertise within that office to look at that should we decide that is a reasonable direction for their work? Thank you.

I guess there is still some more exploration to be done. Thank you.

Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. Minister McLeod.

Ms. Magrum, the $1,000 in the Inuvik region.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Next I have on my list Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister responsible for the Status of Women. I would like to start with questions on family violence since, of course, women bear the huge brunt of this tragedy. My first question is on the Centre for Northern Families. The Minister has had time to research my questions of last Monday. What is your plan for action this week to save this crucial haven for wounded families? Mahsi.

So general comments. Mr. Abernethy.

What about the socio-economic agreement? When do we anticipate that to come into force and are there people amongst these six staff that are working on that? Thank you.
