We need to separate frack from fiction, do we? Thank you to the Minister for the comment, but I would like to know what we are doing as a government. Are we engaging in any research? Are we looking into the effect that fracking will have on our northern environment because it is different from other environments? I would like to know whether there are any plans on the part of this government to do some serious research, and once that’s done, to then educate other governments and our residents about it. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Bouchard.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. There are no further speakers on my list. Are we agreed that general comments are concluded?

To quote the Council of Canadians: “We need the facts about fracks.” It’s the responsibility of a government to protect its people. This government must take the appropriate actions to do just that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Elkin. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Minister. Nothing further, Mr. Blake? Okay, thank you, Mr. Blake. Any other for opening comments? Mr. Nadli.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Beaulieu.

Thank you, Minister. I appreciate that. Mr. Blake.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Lafferty.
